Tower and Town, February 2021 (view the full edition)
1 January 2021Dear Lord, at this difficult time
We look regularly for your sign
Suggesting what we are able to do
To get Covid cases fewer and few.
Things are hard, as I speak,
So much has happened in the last week,
Covid seems to be controlling US
Like the driver of a great big bus.
The infection rate is so very high
Of this nobody can deny,
We have all been given our own tier
And serious infection is getting very near.
The tier we are in is number three
It’s very restricting, we all agree,
Bars and restaurants have had to close
And we are all having lots of lows.
I can meet with one daughter but that is all
Other friends and family cannot call,
Our groceries are delivered, if they can,
But on others calling there is a ban.
Many people are seriously ill
And many others Covid will kill,
It’s a desperate situation for us all
Hoping that Covid will not call.
Dear Lord, we are down on our knees!
Can you help us, PLEASE,
To make better those who are ill
And stop Covid trying to kill.
Vaccination is coming soon
And we will all then sing a grateful tune,
Perhaps good things will follow on.
The days of so much travel may be gone,
Helping friends and neighbours will be the norm
Keeping us all safe from any harm.
Please Lord, let this time soon come
And allow us again to have some fun. Margaret Killick |
