We took for granted
the usual suspects,
that on our daily route
we would always see.
The same school children
The same shop workers
The same coffee shop occupants,
chatting over a pot of tea.
With joy we walked
by the riverside.
Hand in hand,
even at our age.
Taking for granted
the simple pleasures,
as each new decade
took us to the next stage.
Each day that came,
a new tomorrow,
full of fun and laughter –
what more could we ask?
Now all we see
are scary eyes,
peeping out from
over a mask.
A second wave of fear
hitting us all.
More so for those
who have suffered a loss.
As they watch selfish folk
not heeding the rules.
Is it any wonder
they all feel so cross?
Doing the right thing
like staying in a bubble,
will certainly
prevent the spread.
And bringing families closer
than ever before,
not a bad thing –
it has to be said.
So let sense prevail,
there is no short term fix.
We are in it together,
like it or not!
In a world where kindness
is sadly lacking,
we must do what we can
to stop this rot.
