Take This Time To Heal

Take this time to heal A fresh, crisp, frosty morning, the sky a tranquil blue The Sun begins to shine and the frost turns into dew The birds continue singing, the flowers start to bloom The world still goes on spinning, orbited by the moon The wildlife unaffected, maybe finding time to heal While the human race is facing a pandemic that’s surreal Are we being tested? To see how well we cope? Can we work together, so as not to give up hope? The lives of all our family’s lie in someone else’s hands We need to make sure all the population understands We have this opportunity to just stop....and take a breath Appreciate the things we have, before there’s nothing left If we all stand together, we’ll come out the other side Rejuvenated, educated, selfless, you decide We should take this time to realign, evaluate our lives Decide what’s most important, to help us to survive We’re always running out of time, to do the things we need So make the most of all the hours, time is guaranteed No longer in a hurry, we have nowhere to be We think about the family, we can no longer see But one thing is for certain, when we’ve finished with this war We’ll love each other stronger and we’ll hug again once more All things happen for a reason, maybe we’ve been put on trial To take a step outside ourselves, and view our tense lifestyle Maybe we’ll emerge much stronger and take more time to rest Not living in the fast lane, not performing at our best And we’ll all help one another, as we realise we’re the same No one is immune to this, with money, race or fame The moral of this story is, we’re not always in control So ride the storm and take time to rejuvenate your soul Tracie Heard 26/03/20
