A certainly uncertain time
Had fallen on the land
And the people, when they met
No longer shook each other's hand
The daily lives had changed
But not for her, she wasn't most
She held the route and kept it on
Continued with her post
And when TV networks warned
And the wind did carry fear
Still every day with naught but calm
On time she would appear
Then off into the distance
As so many days before
A hope, "Our time's not over lads
We've plenty time to score!"
And when the birds of Twitter chirped
"Tweet, tweet, we're gonna die!"
She passed the windows of the homes
"Nay, nay, not you, not I.
The world's alive, I carry proof
Stay safe, be not dismayed
For every parcel, envelope
Is something someone made!"
And when the echo chambers called
And politics did yell
She was the leader leading well
With not a thing to sell
Then down the road, a metronome
A reminder, "We'll survive!
The world will keep on turning
And the letters must arrive!"
So one day many years from now
When the tales are all retold
Let's make sure this is among them
Let us celebrate the bold ...
In a time, no hugs nor handshakes
When the world had lost its beat
She kept it all connected
And she did it with her feet!
