Hold On, These Days Will Pass

Hold on, these times will pass. This is not a constant state. Like the dragging mists of winter, This fear will dissipate Hold on, this pain will ease, Don’t give in to desolation. You miss the ones you love But there”s an end to isolation Hold on, for just a while The spring will soon arrive. Buds will blossom in the sun And nature start to thrive. Hold on, for better times ahead When we’ll meet and mix again. See those we’ve been protecting But not through a windowpane. Hold on, hold on to hope For a time when we’ll look back. And see the onslaught of this virus Has been stopped in every track. Hold on, a few more months This is of limited duration. Have faith for things will change Now we have a vaccination. Hold on, stick to the rules Keep your distance, stay apart Dawn breaks on the horizon And it heralds a new start. On hold, life’s just on hold We will regain society But not forget the people Who worked to set us free. Mike Miller - January 2021
