Phase 1

Phase One Begins

D Day Is Here

The Day Our Country Starts To Normalize Its Sense Of Fear

As We Start To Take Back Little By Little 

What Is Within Our Control

Our Numbers Are Down In Every City And Town

To Ease Restrictions Is The Way To Go

We Now Have A Roadmap

A Direction To See Us Through

A Well Laid Out Plan To Follow For Me And You

This Depends On Us, Getting It Right

Doing What’s Being Asked Of Us

To Hold Firm, Stay The Pace

It’s For All Our Sakes,

 How To Stay Ahead Of The Race

For Until A Vaccine Has Been Sourced 

We Will Have To Stick The Course

Try To Put Our Fears And Our Anxieties To One Side

And Start To Live Again Outside

Not Like Before But The Best Way We Have Learned, To Do, To Be

While Staying Safe Inside

This Is No Easy Ride

This Will Be Hard To Contemplate, To Navigate 

We Will At Times Feel We Are Going Round The Bend

The Queues For Everything Will Seem To Have No End

So Let’s Take Our Time

Take It In Our Stride

Breath In The Fresh Air

Look Up At Our Clear Noiseless Skies

And Remind Ourselves How We Have Survived This Deadly Curse

While It Was Doing Its Worst

So Let’s Pause,And Celebrate Our Cause

We, Ireland’s Own By Staying Home

Is Showing Our Strong Willed Determination And Our Resilient Strength Is Seeing Us Through

Now Go Do Your Best

Stand Up To This Testing Phase, 

An Act Of Faith

Let’s Show This Virus It Will Have Nowhere To Go 

No More Hosts, 

A No Show.
