Covid19 Poem by Matthew Holloway

Were in a year that never began
Days, weeks and months
Seemingly stolen away
Rules and laws brought in
That we all must follow
Some are easy, others hard
To wear a mask, maintain a distance
No closeness allowed
No handshakes or hugs
Kept apart, from humanity
Our nature restrained
Still, still we must all persevere
Play to the new world
Its rules and demands
And when the new year begins
Finally, we will join together
In celebration
And every sacrifice made
Shall be redeemed
We struggled and suffered as one
As such we shall celebrate as one
So come the morning, the dawn
That we have survived the storm
