We do not need to draw a picture of the victims Today's youth grow up under the illusion that they are the only ones who have been betrayed A piano has black and white keys When the shoe is five sizes too large you can swap it for a pair that fits Are you struggling to make choices We are all on the wave and it is everyone's responsibility Isolation has become part of our everyday lives People have a fundamental need to be seen and heard What's on your list, toilet paper and half a bottle of brandy Although social media makes it easier than ever to keep in touch with people around us Everyone puts life on hold, regardless of age in the fight against this invisible enemy You are not alone in this darkness ___ it only seems that way Right now it's actually the enemy sitting in the driver's seat Act now 23/03/2021 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved

Expressive and emotive work. Reads like a good contender for the contest. This has been a hard year for everyone. Our nation has suffered as one people in that we have had to make sacrifices. Everyone one has suffered in some way, has been touched in one way or another during this period of time. Enjoyed reading your work. Thanks for dropping by my page. Sara

I do believe it appears so menacing but in the end I believe we are stronger and we will overcome this Sunshine. If we pool together and act. Winning wishes dear lady, stay healthy keep sharing :)

You are so right Anne-Lise. The enemy seems to be winning right now but with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. We can still win the war though this battle may be going down hill for now. There is strength in unity especially if you are in unity with God at the forefront. Wonderful write. God Bless, JB

It doesn't matter who gets credit for what, as long as everyone's effort is rewarded and nobody suffers alone. The storm surge that has been anticipated is the third wave that has been inevitable for some time now. Have a wonderful day.

Well written Anne, we're all in this together shame some dont take it seriously with some idiots having parties putting others at risk. Now a third wave is imminent. Good luck and enjoy your day. Tom

- Even our Prime Minister and her family broke the infection control rules - (14 people invited to dinner) - If the Prime Minister is not able to follow the rules, how can we expect the Norwegian people to be able to do it? - A great shame !!! - Thank you so much for your comments, Tom :) - Have a lovely day :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
