T’was The Month Before
Christmas 2020 🎄⛄🎄
T’was a month before Christmas,
and all through the town,
People wore masks, that covered their frown.
The frown had begun way back in
the Spring,
When a global pandemic changed everything.
They called it corona, but
unlike the beer,
It didn’t bring good times, it didn’t bring cheer.
Contagious and deadly, this
virus spread fast,
Like a wildfire that starts when fueled by gas.
Airplanes were grounded, travel
was banned.
Borders were closed across air, sea and land.
As the world entered lockdown
to flatten the curve,
The economy halted, and folks lost their nerve.
From March to July we rode the
first wave,
People stayed home, they tried to behave.
When summer emerged the
lockdown was lifted.
But away from caution, many folks drifted.
Now it’s November and cases are
spiking,
Wave two has arrived, much to our disliking.
Frontline workers, doctors and
nurses,
Try to save people, from riding in hearses.
This virus is awful, this
COVID-19.
There isn’t a cure. There is no vaccine.
It’s true that this year has
had sadness a plenty ...
We’ll never forget the year 2020 ...
And just ‘round the corner -
The holiday season,
But why be merry? Is there even one reason?
To decorate the house and put
up the tree,
When no one will see it, no-one but me.
But outside my window the snow
gently falls,
And I think to myself, "Let’s deck the halls"!
So, I gather the ribbon, the
garland and bows,
As I play those old carols, my happiness grows.
Christmas ain’t cancelled and
neither is hope.
If we lean on each other, I know we can cope.
❤
Remember when...
