when restaurants close,
drive throughs open double lanes
to serve safely.
when schools close,
teachers open online rooms

when surgical centers close,
hospital personnel open doors
to care courageously.
when church buildings close,
God’s people open united hearts
to pray faithfully.
Linking to dVerse Poets quadrille prompt…44 words on “close”.
