Thinking of our poets in Victoria.
Keep Safe.
It’s only been a week,
Second time around,
Thought it might be easier,
But it wasn’t found.
Adrenaline has gone,
We’ve just settled in,
Now resigned to it,
And the discipline.
Life is so restricted,
Activities are few,
Going for a walk,
A little shopping too.
The rest of the time,
A prisoner at home,
But it’s not that bad,
If you are not alone.
No visitors allowed,
That is the decree,
And that’s okay,
If you’re with family.
It’s very hard for those,
Who do it on their own,
No one around them,
Sitting at home alone.
They too need support,
A little company,
And in these current times,
A little sympathy.
For those less fortunate,
Being on their own,
Let’s help them to survive,
And be there on the phone.
Lovely poem Toni – very relevant. Kind Regards, Louise
