Reflections

Reflections

As I sit here reflecting of how my life used to be

And the untimely disappearance that changed my life so suddenly

.

As I sit here reflecting on the existence that I have now

And how it’s constantly being controlled by whatever the virus will allow

.

As I sit here reflecting that time is passing me by

Life is just so precious, we must stay at home and comply

.

As I sit here reflecting this impossible and strange situation

Of an unseen enemy ruling the world, spreading across every nation

.

As I sit here reflecting that a vaccine has now arrived

I wait in anticipation and thank God it’s been supplied

.

As I sit here reflecting that too many lives have been lost

This pandemic has brought such sadness, leaving those left to count the cost

.

As I sit here reflecting that love, hope and caring have all played their part

While lessons learnt and a ‘new normal’ will show the way to a new start

.

As I sit here reflecting that life will be good again

It has been a long and difficult journey that has brought many so much pain

.

But it has been a challenging lesson that life is meant to rise and fall

But come what may, we are so lucky that life can be wonderful after all
