The following article I wrote to express my feelings during lockdown ( remaining isolated at home) during the Coronavirus pandemic. The article was circulated to family, friends and colleagues via the social media.
Article:
Coronavirus – my anguish – yes, we shall overcome
Oh ! how I look forward to normal life
I am tired of watching repeat shows on TV
I am tired of being on-line hours
I am tired of playing board games
I want to go for shopping
I love going to stores and buy something
I like buying for my grandchildren
I need a haircut – my head is now straggly
I want to fill my car with gas
I long for hugging my grandchildren
I want to “shoot the breeze ” with my friends
I miss playing bridge card game with my club
This coronavirus is upsetting my normal life
Covid-19 is moving fast to disturb the citizens
Oh ! how I look forward to normal life
Look after yourself to look after your neighbors
Be patient and keep safe so others can feel safe
It’s a bizarre restricted way to live
However everything is not locked down
Sunrise is always there giving rays of hope
Hope is not locked down
Service and Health workers are there
My Government is active to help
My Guardian Angel is always caring
Oh ! how I look forward to normal life
Prevention is better than cure
Cherish what we have
Home is better than hospital
These dark days will pass
We will have our normal life soon
patience and solidarity will win the war
Hope springs eternal – always
Yes, we shall overcome
Oh ! how I look forward to normal life.
