The War On Covid19
We were all blissfully unaware
Of what was about to occur
Covid 19 came onto the scene
And the rest is just a blur
The virus spreads its fury
Through the darkness we survive
Doing all we can right now
To try and stay alive
In these dark and dismal hours
We should think and feel for others
We are all in this together
We’re all sisters and brothers
So let’s all pull together
We have to fight this thing
When the worst is over
Who knows what that will bring
The virus spreads its fury
Through the darkness we survive
Doing all we can right now
To try and stay alive
People rally round to help
It brings out the best in some
We all try to stay positive
Until this war is won
Never in our lifetime
Have we had to deal with this
We can’t have physical contact
No hugs or loving kiss
Too many people are dying
Too many loved ones are lost
We are all at risk now
Soon we’ll be counting the cost
NHS staff are all fantastic
They all go that extra mile
Tending to the dying and sick
With compassion and a smile
Parents are home schooling children
Some people are working from home
Thanks to today’s technology
Helping those that are on their own
Drastic measures are taken
To stop Covid 19 in its track
Stay safe at home and save lives
We don’t want this virus back
Through the poverty and hardship
Each battle that’s won is our gain
One thing we can be certain of
Is someday we’ll all meet again
