Quiet Phase

We Are In Our Quiet Phase
We Are Pausing, Waiting To See
If All The Hard Work And Sacrifices Made
Will Be Rewarded
Will Be Enough, How Many Have Been Saved
Have We Managed To Totally Suppress, Depress, This Deadly Disease
Or Is It Just Resting, Waiting To Pop Up Its Head
“No Deaths Recorded To Day” The News Reporter Said
A Day Of Hope
This Does Not Mean We Can Take Our Foot Off The Brake
Hopefully An Ending Is In Sight From This Heartache
We Will Soon Be Able To Take Our Loved Ones And Friends
Back Into Our Arms Again
If This Keeps Going In The Right Way
Celebrations Can Begin Again
Cancelled Weddings,
Birthdays, Life Celebrations To Honor Those Who Have Died Without Us Being Able To Be There By Their Side
We Must Stay Vigilant And Continue To Follow The Guidelines And Rules Laid Down
To Stop It Now Would Be A Foolish Act To Make
We Would Be Jeopardising Lives
That Could Be Saved
We Have Absorbed The Initial Shock
So Pause Now, Take Stock
Re evaluate The The Cost Of Lives That Have Been Lost
To Honor Their Memory
To Show That Their Deaths Were Not In Vain
We Will Keep Doing What We Are Doing
Over And Over Again
Until We Are Reassured That We Are Winners In This Game
