Value Our Quiet Times
When Our Minds Can Be Still
And We Can Go Within
Singlemindeness Has Gone
We Are Tapping Into Each Other
The Generations One To Another Are Coming Together
The Young And The Old Where Knowledge And Wisdom Can Be Shared,Taught And Told
Through Acts Of Services And Kindness
Friendships Are Being Formed
We Value Our Relationships With Strangers Who Now Are Friends
Neighbours Who Have Been There For Us
At Times Saving Us From Going Round The Bend
A Friendly Face That Knocks On Doors
To Walk A Dog Or Get A Shop
The Daily Chores, Sorely Missed That Some Can No Longer Do
They Are Cocooning At Home
For The Sake Of Me And You
We Are All Making Sacrifices
This Much Is True
For The Best Outcome To Be
Another Survives, Another One Gets To Stay Alive
Health Care Workers Who Work In The Care Of Others
Have Lost Their Lives
No Greater Reason Do We Need To Stay Safe Inside
These Earth Angel’s Risked Their Lives To Save Another
No Greater Gift Could They Give
Than To Sacrifice Their Life
So That Others Might Live
Let’s Put This In Perspective
What Is Being Asked Of Us
To Stay Brave,To Stay Strong
To Do Our Best
To Honor Those Who Have Gone Before
We Stay Safe, Behind Our Door
