Hopeful
A year our eyes have not yet seen
One which no ear has heard
Of the time when there would be no one outside
Except animals and birds
Every person locked indoors
A kind of human zoo
When you'd sit and stare outside
And the animals would stare at you
Most people longing for freedom
To touch the dewy grass
Workers waiting to go back to work
And students back to class
2020 - what a strange time
It tries to kill us each day
Deaths, bush fires and now this plague
It's trying every way
But here's a thought - dont lose hope
We are the human race
We've survived much worse
Sent probes to outer space
So don't fret
Just stay indoors
Clean the house
Mop the floors
We'll get through this together
But stay apart
Just in distance
Not at Heart
