To return to what we had before.
I worry people misunderstand,
The world can’t the same once more.
The trials and sacrifices we made,
Must now continue on you see.
We must not allow that return,
A new world we all must agree.
We step out to see the blooms,
We see a sky so very clear.
Each and every single day,
We chase away more fear.
Lockdowns not the problem,
The change of life will be.
Yet we need to stand strong,
A new way for you and me.
Views seen around the world,
Offer hope and much joy,
For years we poked at nature,
A warning it did employ.
I understand the longing,
For a world we all once knew.
But an opportunity has risen,
A future and life we all renew.
Though the past was full of safety,
The future now is not so secure.
Move away from your screens,
Do not clutch the pasts allure!
How much more we notice,
On those much needed walks.
How we all are suffering,
Without those personal talks.
In hindsight we should listen,
To the future that we make.
Building up our understanding,
Of a world that’s so great.
Listen to the lack of cards,
The growing of bird song.
The air that is my purer,
A return would just be wrong.
I know that many want the norm,
That norm we now must craft.
A vessel into the future is needed,
The world before just cannot last.
We face a world that’s like knew,
Where we were forced to stop and think.
Let’s not create a world once more,
That we again brought to the brink.
Let’s create a world of love,
Where hugging trees feel right.
Where families can lay on the ground,
Watching the stars at night.
Let us see all the beauty,
Of love, care and serenity.
Wonders of the old and new,
Not one of such obscenity.
So this message I hope to weave,
Of a light at the end of the wood.
Make a change to shape the world,
Become the great force of good.
