It’s in times like this we realise
If only we were out more often
And dint keep ourselves isolated
From people and things that matter.
It’s in times like this we realise
The importance of Values
more than anything
To be
selfless and not selfish
But did we all realise it
Or is it just the few of us
It’s in times like this we realise
The importance of doing good.
Good to people both who we love and hate
It’s in times like these this we realise
That not all are on the same page
For some isolation from the self
has become a blessing in disguise
while for others
It’s a reason for whining and frustration
It’s in times like this that we realise
How important it is for us to realise
the purpose of our existence
to support and encourage
And realise the consequences to our actions.
It’s in times like this that we realise
That what matters most is love
And love above all is what the world needs
Love to self and others.
It’s in times like this we realise
How circumstances change
How days turn into weeks
Weeks into months.
It’s in times like this we realise
The importance of faith
In oneself and the almighty
And to have patience and hope
To sail through the times
