Time to Slow Down

This is the time to be slow,
Try as best you can, not to let go,
Time will come good,
And you will find your feet.

People stayed home,
Read books and listened,
Made art and played,
AND STOPPED!

People began to think differently,
Even the earth began to heal,
People found each other,
Created new ways of life.

AND WE SLOWLY STARTED TO LIVE AGAIN
The year the world stopped
Maxymilian Janczak Social distance hugs
Woodseats Social distance friends
New choices and dreams of new visions
The playground calls us and asks “where are you?”
NHS are the heroes
And when we are together we are stronger than ever
The day when this is over
Will be the day we will be united
This will be the year we will never forget

6 feet away,
You must stay.
School is closed,
Only essential shops are open.
Masks are required everywhere you go,
Except for your own home.
Lonely you will be,
No friends you can see.
You will be bored,
And that's a guarantee.
Clap for the NHS,
Draw the rainbows and put them in the window.
Outside in the garden it is dead silent,
No more traffic, more birds singing.
The cages humans are in,
Looks like the roles are reversed!
