Waiting!


People are used to instant,
Waiting is lost to a few,
Are we are too busy for this? if only you knew!
Can't you breathe a second, those in the instant crew?
Take time for you and you may just feel NEW.

Look at whats around you, see those magic smiles, you don't need to rush around see, smell, and see the day around.
Locked in should of been that education this can't keep going on.
Impatience is so ugly - did anyone die whilst you stopped.
The lesson is to breathe and look and see.!

This Time

I felt the need after watching the News and the report of loss amongst families.
 This poem came to me.

The Deaths that have happened in lockdown.
The pain that i feel for those lost.
 The funeral taking a different route, of 20 minutes and thats the lot.
Not staying for a reminiscing, celebration, the celebration of the life, that was lost, at the time of the virus around.
Taking away lives.

My heart goes out to the funeral directors, who are doing this time after time,
Not easy for you, not easy for us, but your just carrying on for mine.
Thankyou for helping the families and being a huge support
Please be sure to give yourself time.
and thankyou as you certainly mean alot.
