Invisible Wisdom

We are all home, the whole family,
How lovely, peaceful and fun again,
talking and laughing so very happily,
like rainbow, sunshine amidst rain!

Children are happy to be with dad,
The schools are shut for some days,
Mum leaning on dad looks so glad,
This is so special in charming ways!

Shopping is just for essential things,
Like milk, bread, snacks and fruits,
We play in the garden throwing rings,
cook home veggies and tuber roots,

shopping malls and gyms are shut,
So are the hotels, pubs and stores,
We do not know for how long but,
We are all happy, like never before!

We lost the plot to tv and phone,
Staring ever at their idiot screen,
Although in a family, were all alone,
each in his corner mostly unseen!

No force could have, made a change,
To the mundane routine of every day,
Thanks to this deadly viral exchange,
An invisible wisdom has come to stay!
