My Life in Lockdown

by Dylan Edkins aged 10

My life in lockdown,
my sorrow for those who have suffered,
the hand gel, the soap making our hands crack and crumble.
Thank the NHS, thank the NHS.

My life in lockdown,
the sound of the wind swaying in sync with my baby sister crying,
the birds singing for freedom.
Thank the NHS, thank the NHS.

My life in lockdown,
I feel for those who are vulnerable already,
the masked warriors, fighting in the hot and sweaty hospitals.
Thank the NHS, thank the NHS.

My life in lockdown,
the time we get to spend with our families at him,
the immense satellites, zooming across the dark night sky.
Thank the NHS, thank the NHS.

My life in lockdown,
The football flowing across the emerald grass,
my marshmallow is ready on a stick as I stare at the melted chocolate.
Thank the NHS, thank the NHS.

My life in lockdown,
I taste the charred meat, fresh from the barbecue,
doing Joe Wicks as sweat drips down my face.
We stick together!

We all thank the NHS.
