For all those times
For all those times…
For all the/those time that has gone by,
And, all the questions, that I/we/you had/have been left, wondering why?
For all the/those things that I/we/you tried,
And, all the/those time(s) I/we/you wanted to give up and just cry.
For this duration that I/we/you were on our own,
And, for all the/those time(s) I/we/you felt alone.
For all the/those zoom meetings/sessions and calls on the phone,
And, all the/those constant snap 24 hr changes, extended lockdowns, stages, permits and zones.
For all the/those Covid testing that has been done,
And, to that feeling of appreciation, just to be able to spend time out in that sun.
For all the/those people who have been stuck out there,
And, to the/those unjust feeling that situation had/has been unfair.
For all the/those times, I/we/you have worked from home,
And, again to all those times you I/we/you felt alone.
For all the/those times, the kids sent you crazy,
And, to all the times during Covid-19, you felt tired and just lazy.
For all the alcohol I/we/you drank during this time/ to pass time,
And, all these/those times I/we/you regretted, looking back at those, bottles of scotch, gin, beer or wine.
For all the/those people out there, who had to close shop or who has lost work for this long duration, just to earn a/that Aussie dime,
Our hearts go out to you, for all this hardship and lost time.
For all the uncertainty, that has come through with this virus,
Has made us to be desirous.
(Has taken away from us all most of life’s pleasures and left us to be desirous.)
For the longest time, I/we/you have stared at our four walls,
And spent time walking/running up and down our corridor/halls.
For all the/those silly/delirious moments that I/we/you created,
And, for each day we waited/watched the government update the cases and information that they stated.
For all the/those times that I/we/you were given false hope for this/these lockdown(s) to end,
And, I/we/you are just thankful for all the support from our work (colleagues), family and dearest friends.
For all the/those hardships in this situation (long or short) that each one of us, has been through,
In all this time, we are thinking, of you.
For all the/those loved ones that we couldn’t visit during this/these times, and/or see,
I/we/you keep thinking/dreaming of a better tomorrow, when we can again finally get out and be free.
For all those times,
Just all those times.
