As street lie silent, but lights shine bright
Life seems difficult, though not all fight
When nature shows, how to continue
Twilight's ruddy glows, sending clues

Evening looms ahead, families at home
A lockdown ensures, we mustn't roam
Vital workers, bravely lead the way
Life won't be the same, in future days

At a time when life, is not as it was
Many worldwide, coming to terms with loss
Time is lost, believing we had control
Daily we fulfilled, our simple daily goals

Love ones separated by a silent force
We wait the virus to take its course
Will we see our loved ones, once again
But it's not a time, to shed tears like rain

Doing what we can, to get through a time
Sometimes two metres apart, forming a line
Communication by screen, not by touch
No quick fix possible, we want so much....

No one knows how it will end
A time to be grateful, for family and friend
Hope and faith, we can believe and share
Time to stay positive, yet show we care....
