#Coronavirus#bekind Why do we have this sickness that is sweeping through the globe? What’s happening we wonder as we all become enrobed? Perhaps you can consider this whilst we’re all locked away, And the society we’re used to has so changed from yesterday… Did you all appreciate the beauty in your lives? Did you appreciate your parents and your husbands and your wives? Did you give your children love and nurture that they need? Were you wrapped up in consumerism, wanting it all and greed? Have you ever stopped and looked at the blueness of the sky? Have you listened to waves crashing and the seagulls as they cry? Have you ever noticed the magnificence of trees? Have you heard birds singing and the humming of the bees? Have you smiled at strangers as you pass them in the street? Did you look around you or just straight down at your feet? Did you check on neighbours and share kind words every day? Or just go about your business, always rush rush rush away? Did you work and contribute to the standards that we live? Or take no responsibility because you’re not prepared to give? Did you march and protest or conduct yourself with peace? Is resolution through fighting or should this finally cease? Nature is now saying that enough is now enough… I’m going to take over, if you don’t like it that's tough! I’m going to make you all stand still, give lessons that you need - Stop wanting wanting wanting, stop being consumed by greed. Stop cruelty, stop pollution, stop fighting and stop war… Stop killing, abuse, committing crimes, behave not like before… Appreciate friends and family, spend time and talk and play, Use the words ‘I love you’, have a huggle every day. Give care to those less fortunate, give love to those in need… Give back to our society, do daily a good deed… No one should be homeless or feel they’re all alone, Be caring and giving every day. APPRECIATE, don’t moan. Stop and smell the roses, see the flowers, see the trees… Appreciate the animals, butterflies, birds and bees… Look in wonder at the sky, the vast expanse of blue, Stop and stare at oceans, hear the sounds – amazing too! The virus is sweeping through our world with lessons for us all… We must all make the changes with this gargantuan wake-up call… And hopefully when time has passed, disease is left behind, The biggest lesson we have learned is we must all BE KIND! Elizabeth Lowdell 24th March 2020
