Stay at Home, Stay Safe is the message we hear each day,
There is an unseen virus lurking around, let’s keep it at bay.
Our daily routines have been affected, it has taken time to adjust,
It’s killing many people, business have gone bust.
Our home is now a cage,
Where time seems to wait,
For something unknown,
Maybe for an untold date.
We can walk the empty streets that are within our gates,
Greet friends and neighbors, who may not be our best mates.
But it’s interesting how people’s lives can be,
When you take time to talk and share.
Netflix and Prime still not worth the time
Inside the house is polished and the furniture’s dusted and shining,
Old receipts and papers sorted and committed to the bins,
With so much time to spare each day, where do we begin?
Be thankful for our homes, our families and friends,
What is happening around the world is hard to comprehend.
This shut-in life-style and all it offers gives us a feeling of security,
And we will adjust to these difficult times by the daily practice.
Hoping someday this all will end.
Until then stay safe and hope it’s not the end.
