The Virus That Changed the World
Pre the virus the world was a very different place,
It was me, myself and I
no thought for the rest of the human race.
So how strange that it takes such a major crisis,
For us all to realise
what the true meaning of life is.
Society’s become much more caring and giving,
with a new found spirit
for loving and living.
People willing to help and volunteer,
Thursday evenings a time
for thanks and cheer!
Our hero’s no longer those of film and tv
health and care workers
are who we aspire to be.
Donations of money and food is not all we are seeing
But time too spent to chat
to aid our well being.
So through all this anguish, pain and sorrow,
we’re all now striving
for a better tomorrow.
When the suffering is over and a new dawn starts,
let’s hope we continue
with a lot more love in our hearts.
