Coronavirus



Now We can only talk from afar
We long for a hug and kiss
Lockdown is keeping us all apart
And we realise now what we miss

Our loved ones are leaving
Without a goodbye
And the carers are giving their lives
They protect without a thought for themselves
But still too many will die

This invisible enemy is deadly
It hides in the unfortunate souls
Mutating each day to avoid any cure
And Spreading without any holds

There is a way to kill it off
But we cannot do it alone
The message is clear from the health officials
WE ALL MUST STAY AT HOME!
