I remember hearing on the news about people getting sick,
Miles away from us, we didn’t even think,
How fast it would fly around the world, like an aeroplane in the sky.
Scared at first, then we heard, we are ALL to STAY AT HOME!
We must PROTECT OUR NHS to save lots of lives.
No School, no friends, no family to see for a very long time.
At home at first, I was excited, no school and hot chocolate in the day.
Happy spending time with mum and dad and an annoying sister that likes to play!
BBQ’s, bikes and scooters whizzing around the place.
My feelings changing day by day.
But then, after time I began to miss my grandparents and mates.
Video calls aren’t the same as seeing them face to face.
I miss playing, singing, hugs and kisses but at least we’re all still safe.
On our daily walks we see winter turn into spring, flowers and bright green leaves.
The air is cleaner with no cars or planes, surely everyone can see?
Do we need to learn a lesson from this lockdown and virus?
Protecting ourselves is just as important and looking after our environment.
