Changing Times

Have you ever thought...
I wish I had more time
and working 5 days a week
should be considered a crime?

Well, we all know the phrase
be careful what you wish for
as Coronavirus spreads 
and lockdown become law.

So what do we do
to make the most of our time...
Learn a musical instrument 
write a book or rhyme?

Learn a new language
or aim to get fit
but whatever you choose
make the most of it!

It’s a difficult time
but one thing we really must do
us give thanks for what we have 
and for those we live too!

The Virus That Changed the World

Pre the virus the world was a very different place,
It was me, myself and I
no thought for the rest of the human race.

So how strange that it takes such a major crisis,
For us all to realise
what the true meaning of life is.

Society’s become much more caring and giving,
with a new found spirit
for loving and living.

People willing to help and volunteer,
Thursday evenings a time 
for thanks and cheer!

Our hero’s no longer those of film and tv
health and care workers
are who we aspire to be.

Donations of money and food is not all we are seeing
But time too spent to chat
to aid our well being.

So through all this anguish, pain and sorrow,
we’re all now striving
for a better tomorrow.

When the suffering is over and a new dawn starts,
let’s hope we continue
with a lot more love in our hearts.
