Coronavirus

Dropping like flies.

The disease from hell.

We have to dig deep.

To live to tell.

Stay inside.

Go within yourself.

Don't let go.

Keep your health.

Read a book.

Create some art.

Write a poem.

From your heart.

Get my book.

Solitary Fitness.

It will help you through.

God be your witness.

Work your mind and body.

In your own space.

You're never alone.

In the human race.

Coronavirus will pass.

A vaccine will come.

Look after yourself.

Especially your mum.

Believe in you.

Keep the faith.

It's life's big test.

You stay safe.
