What a Change

Yesterday I had slight cold 
Discomfort in throat
I got scared, prayed to God

Corona has put so much fear in our minds
Previously in viral fever we would not bother
In cough and cold Iife would continue as usual
We would run about as usual, 
tolerating bodily discomforts,
lack of sleep and minor illnesses.
we took our body for granted!

Now we are fearing simple cough and cold 
Fear of death looms large in our head

Suddenly we have started taking care of our body 
Suddenly we want to live long

Hopefully people will continue to care for their health even after the pandemic ends. Fear should not be the reason. Thanks to the pandemic, and attitude of people, overall sickness levels have come down. If same healthy lifestyle is maintained, all would be more healthy always Thanks for taking time out to comment. Enjoy your day. Regards, Rama
