When You Rise: An Inspirational Poem of Hope for The Nation Kala Jordan-Lindsey

Like never before, the country is in an uproar due to the overwhelming impact of COVID-19.




Since the beginning of this unprecedented pandemic, many have struggled to maintain stability, employment, businesses, medical care, and support loved ones, who are critically ill. As a result, millions are suffering and have become hopeless, helpless, or remain homeless due to the rising illnesses, deaths, hardships, and mental health issues today.




When You Rise encourages the nation with words of hope and motivation to never give up in a world where grace binds us all together because Hope is alive-if only you're bold enough to believe it, and choose to be the change.




let's stand like trees

blossom like flowers

rise like eagles

overcome life

and love together

like birds that flock together
