All shut away we weather a storm
Seeking projects or hobbies not our norm
We are kept away from all we love
Not a kiss or cuddle visit or hug.
For those departed a once happy place
No rhyme or reason age, sex, or race.
The economy takes a downturn
All business closed money we can’t earn.
We all look to a brighter time as we reflect
Remember to complete things we neglect
Lucky we are to have visual means
As we stay in touch talking our dreams.
Things we will do when danger is over
A trip to the beach or lay in fields of clover.
A visit to places we said we would
A fast pace before no time we could.
Make a change to our old style of living
Grateful to life, loss to those that have given.
Give to charity help those in need
Caring is a reward without greed
Those that give without care or thought
Heal those who have lost asking for nought.
To binmen, shopkeepers to all who continued
Give cheers and praise for all they’ve done.
Fearing not for their safety but working as one.
Our children kept home unable to play,
To live and grow in their own carefree way
Missing friends’ school and relations.
