"A Story To Be Told"

It's a Spring we will remember
The good times and the bad
The minutes ticking slowly
In the 'lock down' we all had
Those hours of isolation
Like a prisoner in a cell
Not seeing any loved ones
Or the friends we knew so well
The world outside denied to us
As we obey the rules
A place we took for granted
Just a playground for the fools
We'll all have many memories
Of the times we laughed and cried
We'll all be very mindful
Of the ones who fought and died
And whilst the grief engulfs us
We can learn by our mistakes
The World can be much better
With decisions that it makes
With hope and love we'll do it
For a future without fear
We must be understanding
There's a voice we all can hear
Yes we'll all remember Springtime
When our lives were put on hold
But come the freedom of tomorrow
There's a story to be told.
