Quarantine

One day we were living our normal lives Everyone going about their business Then all of a sudden things just changed And we have to keep our social distance Wash your hands and sanitize Wear your masks and gloves too So that this sudden thing called Covid-19 Does not get to you Long queues of panic shoppers People going around Loaded trolleys full of groceries As they prepared for the national lockdown Stay in quarantine Is what the lockdown is all about We need to abide by the rules Because we need to wipe this virus out It is all for a good cause To try and keep us safe To keep the numbers from growing To survive this crazy wave God please be with the poor May they have a plate to eat As they are unable to work And in utmost desperate need And please be with our old people Let them all be fine Because they are most fragile In this trying time Be with all of the infected Heal them Father one by one I trust in You to safe our world In the Name of the Father the Holy Spirit and Son Bless our health and essential workers Give them strength and extra powers They are risking their lives To safe all of ours Dear fellow citizens This is your time to help our world heal Abide by the rules And please remain in Quarantine

such a timely piece BE - we are now covid free 90 days on our little Island but we cannot be complacent and some idiots are already breaking quarantine rules if they have been away from the Uk... two have ended up in prison as a result. Hope all is well with you are your gorgeous little girl:-) hugs Jan xx

Thanks Jan. Glad things are going better that side. South Africa had many deaths and rising Covid figures, but I trust that God will heal and protect our lovely country. Still people who does not listen.
