In this lifetime, we live through extraordinary things

but covid-19 made us all stand still

the confusion, loneliness struck our hearts

wondering, will we always live this far apart

No hugs, no kisses from our family or friends

constantly asking ourselves when will this end

no more handshakes for the people you meet today

wondering again, is covid here to stay

facial expressions are hard to grasp

as everyone now is wearing a mask

two metres apart is all we hear

please stand over there, please don’t get too near

please wash your hands now after everything you touch

wondering again, I’m doing this so much

It’s a new world now, a new world we live in

this is part we have all been given

we communicate now through computers and phones

Covid is good in that sense, as someone is always home

I have time for me now, I know who I am

life with covid is ever so calm

I’m one of the lucky ones I’m not on my own

I live with two others in my house

together we try to understand what this pandemic has done to our land

Covid has its positives like everything in life

as a community we have come together, brothers, sisters, husbands and wives

you see my mind it does wonder, with this pandemic looming

will our country ever get back to booming

let’s stand together one and all, let’s back this pandemic to the wall
