LIFE 2021

Morning Has Broken,
The Promise of Another Day
We Are Not Broken,Just Bent Out Of Shape
We Have Been Twisted,
Spun,Tossed Around
Not Knowing Which Way Was Up Or Down
Where And How To Land,
Where Was The Ground Beneath Our Feet
In Eirinn’s Land
To Be Solid, Safe, Home
Terra Firma All Around
We Long For The Familiar
The Family, Friends Their Touch,Arms Linked,Entwined
Hearts Meet, Skip A Beat
Where To From Here We Ask
All In Good Time As We Hope That All That Has Gone Before
Is Coming To An End
And It Is Safe Once More
To Leave The Familiarity At Our Door
And Join Our Families And Friends Once More
Celebrations Of Life
For Those Who Have Come, And Gone
Have Been Put On Hold,On Pause
We Need To Celebrate
We Need To Applaud
To Remember Those We Have Lost
And Welcome Those Who Chose To Come In 2020/2021
To Bring Life, Love And Light Into The World
Their Journey Just Begun
Into A Very Different World Order
That Has Been Known For Such A Short Time By One And All
The Circle Of Life,From Cradle To Grave
We Have Learned Not To Take It For Granted
All The Days We Have,We Now Crave
Where To From Here
The Present,The Gift We Hold
We Will Have Plenty Of Time,
Of Ways Our Stories Will Be Told To Future Generations
Of How We Lived,Survived Thrived Through These Troubled Times
When Our Main Goal From An Unseen Deadly Enemy, But Felt By Far Too Many
Was To Survive
And Our Actions,Our Needs And Our Deeds
Were Purely To Keep Each Other Alive
