Feeling the Sunshine, Spring 2020
An EHS Student Special Feature Publication
A Poem by Derek LeHouillier
The sun began to shine
The streets were empty
The shops were closed
The people couldn’t get out
But spring didn’t know anything
And the flowers continued to bloom
And the sun began to shine
And the swallows came back
And the sky turned pink and blue
There was not enough space left
For everyone in hospitals
And people got sick
But spring didn’t know, and it sprouted
All were places in quarantine
Grandparents, families
And teenagers for health reasons
Then the fear became real
And the days looked the same
But spring didn’t know
And the roses continued to bloom
