A Year Without

A year without your calls each day Oh what I would give to hear you say ‘Hello Mum, how are you today’ A year since that day you were taken away So sudden So cruel No warning for us all One moment you were here Then nothing at all My son you are now with sweet souls you loved At peace No pain Pray we’ll see you again Oh what a year you’ve missed my Son Covid 19 took over our lives Lockdowns Masks Social distancing too A Worldwide Pandemic the likes of which ne'er seen before Has taken over all our lives as we hide behind our own front door Parcels left upon our steps Hand gel Hand washing To disinfect To kill this virus This evil germ it makes me scared it makes me squirm You are probably wondering as you look down wondering why we are wearing a frown No Theatres No shows Pubs closing at 10 No hotels No holidays No mixing with friends It’s surreal It’s bizarre for we cannot be who we think we are Taking over our lives Will life be the same again Millions have perished Coronavirus is to blame known as Covid one nine for that is its name 2020 was the year this toxic virus came…. Will it ever go ????? Well ~ we really do not know… Contest COMPLETELY YOUR CHOICE 25 Sponsor Brian Strand N/A Written 3rd October 2020

Dear Ann. Don't know what to say. Those who suffer know the pain. Over this pandemic all of us are in dark. Don't know where is the solution! We are helpless only to lament. Blessing
