This World and It's Covid Effects

Looking back on the last 18 months
so much has changed in that time
this world may never be the same again
we may never know what would be it's prime

All the countries have been effected
some to a greater extent than the rest
lockdown means something different now
it's made us search inside in this test

Vaccines have taken so long for some
while many have reached the majority
much prayer went up for those in need
all our lives looking for some quality

The sales of masks and protective gear
has increased ten told since it began
for people need kept safe wherever they are
life's precious as each heartbeat preserves man

We all look forward to its final end to be
when life gets normal again whatever that means
then have holidays and special times of life
to sit down and ponder on all that might have been

(Just some thoughts on the past 18 months of covid and its effect upon us all wherever we are in the world. )
