Therapy Thoughts: Lockdown 2

Lockdown is here again

Surprise, surprise!

New variant at play now

 Brexit consequences now arise.

Vaccine is here too

Rollout is slow.

Stay at home

Exercise local and isolate

Welcome the limited freedom you know.

Neighbourhood WhatsApp group

Time to regenerate.

Christmas is over

New year is here

Hope grows stumbling

In the brighter light of day.

Find the positive, be mindful of the moment,

Overcome the fear!

Mental health is an issue,

Follow the advice, my dear!

Business is suffering

Parents and children struggling.

Exams now cancelled

Travel limited to a few

Working at home

Is it just déjà vu?

Car needs de-icing

No worries there

Nowhere to go

So really do not care.

What have we learned from the last lockdown, you and I?

Locked in, locked up, locked out and yet we cannot deny

We are strong, we are patient, we are here

WE SURVIVED
