2020,
a year of plenty
of fear.
A virus
spreading in China
exported around the world
and every man, woman and child
left isolated
from society.
Into lockdown we went
and all those days we spent
waiting
for a sign of hope
in a broken world.
So many people at breaking point;
furloughed, home schooled, trapped,
then the rules relaxed
and we ate out in the sunshine
which spread it further
and led to a winter
of pain
I pray we don't go there again.
Now for the vaccine;
we all have a duty of care
to inoculate,
let's make everyone aware
the NHS can't cope
waiting lists are a joke,
so let's take this 'cure'
and be sure
we are all heroes
fighting a war
to keep humanity safe.
Let's open the door
to hope
that next year
will be the best ever,
because adversity
gives you strength
to carry on
into the unknown.
The Chinese say
danger brings opportunity
so let's take this chance
to make a difference
to save our community,
protect the vulnerable
and make a better world
for everyone.
