You Do Not Have To Lock Down Your Mind

A physical lock down, Should not cause a breakdown, If you slow your thoughts down, And send your mind downtown, Or to another town, Maybe even another country to set it down. I would recommend that you are back by tea time, Before it is dark time, As now is not the time, For your mind to get lost in a dark time, But a time, To make light of time, So we can all have a good time, Even in this bad time, When we don't know if it will soon be our time, To leave this time.

Sending out poetry of hope gives me a feeling of doing something useful while in lockdown. I am 66 and my wife 56 so our children insist on doing grocery buying. thank you so much for reading, I appreciate that. I look forward to your next post. Best regards David in NZ

Can't thank you enough. I try to balance my writing so as not to upset people who are very worried and stressed. The will to live is critical I am sure for those infected and even for those who are not. My thoughts with you and your family. Regards David in NZ

Thank you so much Leon. I took a risk with the writing. I am sending poetry to as many people as I can to keep them smiling. Recorded for local Radio by phone on Saturday. Stay strong with thoughts positive. David in NZ
