CELIA'S POEMS

No 354        March 04

It’s nearly been 12 months now,

Whoever would have thought,

We’d be caught up in this pandemic,

With our freedom being sought.

I think it’s taught us one thing,

To be happy with our lot,

There’s so many did not make it,

Who must never be forgot.

We appreciate little things in life,

We always seemed to be behind,

Our lives have been slowed down now,

And time for other things we find.

When we went out today,

It’s sad to see the shops,

Some have managed to survive,

Others just have not.

They’ve had to close for so long now,

Tried hard to stay alive,

But in the finish it’s upsetting,

They just weren’t able to survive.

It seems to be a ghost town,

The people all wear masks,

Trying hard to just accept things,

As they do their daily tasks.

It’s a long time since we’ve seen our friends,

It will be nice to be together,

Hopefully we’ll have a hug,

And just not have to bother.

This war we’ve had to deal with,

We’ve all had it to face,

Not just our men being sent to fight,

It’s involved the whole human race.

Whether you’re a fan or not,

Boris told us how to do it,

And the history books are going to show,

Just how he pulled us through it.
