New Beginnings

It all started with a virus.

It seemed like the beginning of the end.

It cooped us all in our homes.

Without support or even a friend.

Millions lost their lives.

Even more, lost their livelihood.

Governments across the world struggled,

Doing the best they possibly could.

It tested the human race,

To an unfathomable extent.

But we are resilient beings.

And soon things were on a mend.

It started with the little things,

Like families spending more time together.

And soon bloomed into exploring new joys,

Like gardening, baking, or just enjoying the weather.

We witnessed digital revolution two-point O (2.0)

With virtual reunions and online classes.

The physical restrictions brought people even closer,

And infused feelings of compassion in the masses.

The doctors worked tirelessly,

And the scientists weaved their magic.

Within 6 short months, we had vaccines ready,

And the number of cases was no longer tragic.

We learned a new way to live,

With frequent hand washes and face mask.

Despite the challenges, life went on,

And it was more than we could ever ask.

It seemed like the beginning of the end

With the world under lockdown, everyone complaining.

But we converted the challenge in to an opportunity

And made ourselves a new beginning!

But let’s not get complacent.

If anything, we should learn to cherish our life even more.

Be grateful to everyone and to mother Earth.

Let’s spread love and not war.
