It is with great pleasure to introduce our good friend Liz Gonzalez. She told Texas Border Business that what’s going on in the world has inspired her to write the poem (or country-western song) below.

It happened in the Springtime

by Liz Gonzalez

There is a virus among us

A respecter of none it seems

Who attacks prince and pauper

The age’d, young, babes and teens

Thousands fall by the wayside

While others watch from afar

The faithful and the faithless

All growing weary of heart

It’s Springtime in the world

And everything is abloom

Yet it seems terribly wrong

While humans experience such gloom

Technology connects the masses

Where they express their woes

But here’s something to take note of

Something to give you hope

Although life is but a vapor 

That briefly hovers in the air

It can be a powerful witness

That can transform another into an heir

Alas, there is a greater virus

One from days of old

That started in the Springtime

When all was good I’m told

It infected the entire planet

As things began to unfold

What sadly started in the Springtime

A long, long, time ago

What will you do with the time given you?

Might I be so bold?

Open that Book covered in cobwebs

With wisdom more precious than gold

There you’ll find God’s antidote

There you’ll find the cure

That came down from Heaven

With foretold humble allure

Believe and you’ll find healing

Of that you can be sure

And you’ll find joy in the journey

As you sojourn here on earth

For tomorrow you’ll meet Jesus

Where no pandemic will prevail

Only the light of God’s glory

As heaven’s choir sing to Him all hail.
