When all this is over.
Will there be life?
For all to enjoy.
No worries or strife.

Will we be able to hug?
Show our family we care.
Will we all survive?
Together be there.

This Virus so lethal.
That drove us inside.
Ravished our NHS.
So many have died.

Will we get over
This devastation so severe?
Total abandonment.
Of all we held dear.

Will things go back
To the life we all knew?
One step at a time.
Is how we'll get through.

This journey so strange.
Never travelled before.
The odds were against us.
Following the R Score.

Will there be life
Without any ties?
Where we can restart
Our missed former lives.

From this Pandemic so Brutal.
We pray for salvation.
For everyone.
From every nation.
