Sabar saja dulu..
Mungkin saat ini kita belum bisa memeluk anak,
Belum bisa melihat senyum ibu,
Belum bisa mendengar kelakar bapak,
Dari jarak yang tak lebih dari satu meter jauhnya.
Suatu hari nanti badai akan selesai.
Dan kita akan pulang. Mencium mereka.
Menikmati harum masakan ibu.
Mendengarkan cerita usang bapak yang sepertinya tiada berpenghujung.
Kita akan duduk berhimpitan seperti dulu.
Tak ada jeda karena jeda tak lagi menjadi sesuatu yang harus ada.
Kemudian kita bisa titipkan doa dari jarak yang tak lebih dari satu senti jauhnya.
Sabar saja dulu...

The following Spanish poem, written and donated to us by Juan Soto, lecturer at Hostos Community College, New York, and a Dominican Rep native.The poem aims to encourage people to stay home, not desperate, keep fighting for this crisis will soon be over.
English translation: "You stay in your home. I stay in mine, that's how we fight this pandemic. Staying home is how we contribute and you'll see how we will all survive. Do not desperate, find something to do. Play with your wife, talk with her. If you live alone, use WhatsApp and talk to the group. Resist, hang in there, we'll kick COVID-19 in the butt. Read a book, call a friend. Remember, you can always count on me."
