'Covid-19' by Vika

Lockdown, for sure created a frown I was sometimes up and sometimes down.

Nowhere to go, no one to see

Stuck in the house, my husband and me.

A visit to the shop; queues I didn’t like

Once a day exercise, a walk or a bike.

Then back to work, not like before Full of anxiety going through the door.

Bubbles of thirty, everything must be clean

Anxieties are there; hidden not seen.

Meet with six people, wear masks in some places

Leave pubs at 10; can’t see the faces.

Washing hands often; putting on the gel

Covid-19 has brought a living hell.

So how do I feel, in twenty, twenty time Up, down, ok, not ok, anything but fine.

But glimmers of light, around on the scene

Singing with GBHC and Choirantine.

Sing for our well-being, sing for mankind

Keeping me positive, and sound of mind.

Living each day, all finding our way

Through the battle with Covid, we will win one day.
