Where Folk Still Have a Smile Upon Their Face
What am I missing
since lockdown began
way back in March
I was happy and free
to come and to go
any where
any day
taken for granted
Oh dear ~ silly me…
Social isolating
has kept me inside
a place to feel safe
a place for to hide
But now going out
I look all about
in case someone else
may walk far too close
Then I remember
not too long ago
a smile
a good morning
so lovely to hear
on a sweet sunny morn
how I yearn
how I pray
on this bright sunny day
for their welcome return
For I hope paranoia
will never kick in
it would be such a shame
it would be such a sin
not to walk by the sea
with her ebb and her flow
a place I adore
I could ask for no more…
She gives me such peace and tranquillity
She truly makes my soul soar
She takes me to another place
