CELIA'S POEMS
No 48 May 04
Not
so many weeks ago,
We
had a normal life,
It
wasn’t always perfect,
And
occasionally there was strife.
Then suddenly the world changed,
Many people died,
We
were all given our orders,
We
had to stay inside.
At
first we didn’t believe it,
And
some weren’t even trying,
But
then we had to listen,
As
more and more were dying.
We’ve now been in our homes for weeks,
And
I just can’t believe,
In
that short time that we have had,
A
new life we can receive.
Your dance class could be from anywhere,
A
kitchen from down under,
They’re getting normality in all our lives,
These whizz kids are a wonder.
My
granddaughter had a party,
Her
sister was so clever,
She
had people joining from all over the world,
We
had the best time ever.
So
please let’s look on the bright side,
And
everything’s not lost,
We’re going to win this battle,
And
we’ll do it at all costs,
With the help of all the experts,
And
the wonderful NHS,
We’ll just have to wait for answers,
To
get rid of all this mess.
So
please try to think positive,
With so much going on out there,
I
for one feel confident,
We’ll survive because we care.
