Survivors!
Catching Covid-19 virus is a fear that is real,
Nothing to be trifled with, it’s a very big deal.
Getting a positive is a challenge and a test of will,
Hoping & praying that your breath will not still.
From far & wide well-wishers send prayers & support,
Backed up with fruits & vegs that they kindly bought.
They boost the morale in more ways than one,
Thoughts dwell on when can we go out & feel the sun.
The days of quarantine are disconcerting & long.
Are they sure that they did not get the test so wrong?
Finally, the call comes in to end the seclusion.
Can we go now & get a negative to end this illusion?
The result comes in to a great feeling of relief,
To get back to normal is the first & last belief.
But wait a moment, just what is meant by normal?
To observe all the local rules stated & formal.
To whom to give thanks for this delivery so new?
To God Almighty & to those who love us is an evident clue.
May we also thank the health workers who give so much,
And the frontliners, experience tells us clearly true heroes are such.
