When fear affects the world, let us choose love.

　　May we who are merely inconvenienced

　　Remember those whose lives are at stake.

　　May we who have no risk factors

　　Remember those most vulnerable.

　　May we who have the luxury of working from home

　　Remember those who must choose between preserving their health or making their rent.

　　May we who have the flexibility to care for our children when their schools close

　　Remember those who have no options.

　　May we who have to cancel our trips

　　Remember those who have no safe place to go.

　　May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic market

　　Remember those who have no margin at all.

　　May we who settle in for quarantine at home

　　Remember those who have no home.

　　As fear grips our country,

　　Let us choose love.

　　During this time when we cannot physically wrap our arms around each other

　　Let us find ways to embrace our neighbors.
