A pretty girl waiting for the malls to open,
she wonders what she.ll buy
she.ll have a good cold coffee,
or a pair of shoes she.ll try

will she be able to remove her mask,
or it.ll cling to her throughout
will she be able to breathe freely,
this shes wondering about

but then she feels oh! once it's open,
i.ll have no time to think
ears too busy to hear the sounds,
eyes too busy even to blink

God has given us a chance to pause,
to think that we are alive
these all things are a mere distraction,
we are lucky to have a cosy hive

where the water is sweet, the food is yummy,
the bed is a bundle of silk
where the hearts connect, music speaks,
everything's as pure as milk

the girl then gives a push to the swing,
with a cheerful laugh
what a beautiful day it is,
let me wave my scarf

life is short, enjoy the breaths,
till have few left
some you wasted,when you cried,
some you wasted when you slept...
