The year started with high hopes and plans
Everyone's excited, a new decade at hand.
Then, threats of war, eruption, and fire,
It was just beginning, and we all felt wired.
News of a virus started to spread
A lot got infected, then thousands were dead.
What a sorry tale this is turning out to be
It's like a huge nightmare, the year 2020.
We still have half a year to see how it goes
I hope things get better as the year comes to a close.
Where is the beauty in all this madness?
To help wipe out all our fears and sadness.
There are lessons to be learned.
We better learn them well.
There's a whole new future, we've got to be prepared.
Perhaps it'll be a bright one, but only time will tell.

Wondering what happened, year 2020
Author's note: There was the Taal Volcano eruption in mid-January. We didn't really think it would get worse from there. Most of the world is slowly opening up, but we're still coping, although lockdown has eased a bit.

I enjoyed reading this. It is coherent, flows well and, even though it is describing our current nightmare, it is hopeful.
Thank you for the kind and encouraging words. Take care always! :)
We can't stop being positive even though 2020 is slipping through our fingers!!@iamraincrystal
2020 is going to be a difficult and hard year, as your text expresses in its reflective character. However, in all this drama that we are living we will be able to find some expression of beauty, even if it is the flower in the abyss. Greetings, @iamraincrystal.
