A year which appeared to start quite well Has been quite frankly a year of hell. A silent killer made its way From Wuhan, China so they say.
This life we love and take for granted Shut down by the Government, who demanded We stay indoors and keep away From others at work, at rest and at play.
Heroic staff on hospital wards Too exhausted to hear the applause High streets began to close As more and more were diagnosed.
Sadly standing in supermarket queues Staring at mobiles, reading the news. Adjusting our masks and scrubbing our hands Disappointment at cancelling all of our plans.
Teaching for me just isn’t the same Children restricted from PE and Games. Social distanced tag and sanitised ***** Empty school field and desolate halls.
This poem could go on forever But I haven’t the words, I’m not that clever. Happy New Year 2021 Please dear Lord can you make it more fun ?
