Heading Into the Future

Here we are to start another year so much of the future is so unknown as the pandemic hits crisis point makes one feel for those all alone But one must look ahead in hope being positive about what's ahead believing this will eventually end despite others being negatively red So difficult to have a plan not knowing when Covid will end but it's just a case of the same keep safe and vaccine is right blend Be sure to keep fit and well staying healthy is my no 1 goal what else can anyone ask for? but be sure I feel life in my soul Never forget how to dream for after this it'll be my need as normal could be in the past then dream on your chains be cut free (I have written this poem about my hopes for the coming new year, unaware what it will bring for good or bad.)

Hello Gordon, I enjoyed your poem. Hopefully with vaccinations afoot our freedom to roam + de mask safely will continue to accelerate. Be well. Best wishes, Brian

Hello Gordon … nicely written positive poem Gordon. Down here, governments are very aggressive controlling covid and will close borders at the drop of a hat - thanks again Gordon - Lindsay
