Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

'Mother Earth's Curveball'

Lockdown
Isolation
Social distancing

All words we would never have thought of when we started 2020
Yet here we are
Inadvertently forced to remain in our homes
Not everyone is handling this very well
In fact many are struggling
Yet in order to see another day, another month or year
This is our current situation

Life has thrown the world a curveball
- there is no throwing it back 
We have to work through this 
We have pray through this 
We have to hope through this 
We have to get that mustard seed of faith and cling through this 

Cause no matter how rich or poor you are 
There is no way you are immune 
The playing field has been levelled

Let's not forget as long as we are alive 
We can still make a difference 

Even if that difference means having to stay at home
