What face denies warm April sun
When winter’s cold has been and gone
So this shadow must move on
We will endure, we will have won
‘Til then we’ll do what must be done
Protect and care for everyone
What face denies warm April sun
When winter’s cold has been and gone
So this shadow must move on
We will endure, we will have won
‘Til then we’ll do what must be done
Protect and care for everyone
When Covid has, at last, gone
When public places once more throng
Recall with sorrow those we lost
As countries count the final cost
Then talk of all the brave and true
Who selflessly thought of you
Not going out was hard enough
Many faced challenges much more tough
Medics, police and essential folk
Donned again their professional yolk
Their lives at risk to safeguard yours
No choice but adventure out of doors
REMEMBER well the sacrifice
Of HEROES who did not think twice
One must without informed denial
Recognise the fact
Lips that kiss with willing smile
Transcend the simple act
Though species have inbuilt desires
For furtherance of their genes
That called love the more requires
Some substance of our dreams
“What wealth have you”, the magnate sneered, “For coin I can spare but few”.
“Of things you covet”, the beggar replied, ” ‘Tis true I have little of it”.
“But of the soul, I do believe, I have plenty where you have a hole”.
As soon as I reach the best age
I will break out of my cage
I’ll tear down the door, throw it to the floor
And spend the last of my rage
What then might I have to say?
When free to speak as I may
What wrongs would I right, which battles to fight?
How can I know the best way?
For freedom brings many choices
Amidst conflicting voices
Only one path is true, the best thing to do
Bring peace so the world rejoices
If we could right the myriad wrongs
Turn canon fire to peaceful songs
Bring happiness with each new dawn
Sow barren lands with bountiful corn
Calm stormy winds and heavy seas
Get evil men to try to please
Bring tolerance and common love
And more also you might think of
If only these, you or I could
Then surely…… we would?
