‘Spring in the air’

‘Spring in the Air’

I woke at 5 a.m. this morning

To the birds singing in the trees

I laid back in my sack with my ears pinned back

Like a concert with no entry fees

The silence was golden

With that lick of clean spring air

Just the song from a Thrush and her mates it was lush

They were Two metres apart to be fair

The morning dew on the grass

Then the blue sky just appeared

Not a cloud in sight now the birds songs slight

Like a support act for the gig we had cheered

For a moment in these sad times

I was free from all the hype

The negative news and the smouldering fuse

That seems to be smoked in a not so peace pipe

I thought long about my family

My lovely mother dearest friends some foe

My gorgeous son and his incredible mum

Let this virus turn around and go !

My work colleagues my lovely neighbours

Did they hear the same as me

With the early song birds not short on words

Chirping from the top of the trees

For what is going on out there

This morning’s gig instilled great vibes

We are safe at home like a dog with a bone

For our NHS we are full of pride

Hats off to all our Posties

On the front line been selected

From our young and old some all alone

They’ve help keep us all connected

Hats off to these volunteers

Like worker Bees to their queens new hive

They now take to the zone not a hint of a drone

To help keep our human race alive

What heart and pride they show

Please all return fit and well

We can all reflect and show pure respect

Let’s pray there’s no sequel !
