Keeping my distance

not offering resistance 

To the rules and regulations

set across many nations

Covid-19

not a scary dream

But vivid reality

Get back to normality

Is all that we want

and all we need

Just want to be freed

 

Free to hug our family

and friends

To say “I love you”

or make amends

For that fight we had

Or that falling out

can’t even remember

What it was all about

 

One thing I do know

is that when we

get out of here

We can share a beer

a coffee and a chat

Take off the gloves

and the filter mask

Tell  a joke maybe

off the hoof

No more requirement 

To mask the truth
