The Year That Was

The year that was we will 

remember with pain always,

Those were the most painful days,

When we lost our fight against

An unknown virus,

When our lives from a plus, became a minus,

When people we did not knew,

Became heroes and came to our rescue.

When we stayed away from friends, relations, and others,

When we kept our distance from our own brothers,

Now the time has come to look ahead,

And leave behind thoughts, that are dead,

We have learnt our lessons from the past year,

We now should learn to live with cheer,

For the way to a future is now clear,

Wear mask walk without fear,

That shall be the new way to think,

Or else ignoring the mask, will

Once bring us to the brink,

The virus is waiting with bated breath,

To once again start his dance of death.

Never again shall the virus, invade our life in any way,

Wear a mask everyday, to keep the virus at bay.
