T'was a month before Christmas,🎄 And all through the town, People wore masks,😷 That covered their frown.
The frown had begun☹️ Way back in the Spring,🌷
When a global pandemic 🌍Changed everything.
They called it corona, But unlike the beer,🍺
It didn’t bring good times, It didn’t bring cheer.🍻
Contagious and deadly,☠️ This virus spread fast,
Like a wildfire that starts🔥 When fueled by gas ⛽️
Airplanes were grounded,🛬 Travel was banned.
Borders were closed Across air, sea and land.🛫🛥🚘
As the world entered lockdown🔐To flatten the curve,↩️
The economy halted, And folks lost their verve.🛑
From March to July We rode the first wave🏄♀️🌊
People stayed home, They tried to behave.🏡
When summer emerged🏖 The lockdown was lifted.
But away from caution, Many folks drifted. 🏕⛱🩳🩱
Now it’s November🌨❄️❄️ And cases are spiking,
Wave two has arrived,🌊🌊 Much to our disliking.
Frontline workers, Doctors and nurses 🩺🥼👨🏻⚕️👩🏼🔬👩🏽⚕️
Try to save people, From riding in hearses.🪦
This virus is awful,😢 This COVID-19.
There isn’t a cure. Not yet a vaccine.💉
It’s true that this year Has had sadness a plenty,😭
We’ll never forget The year 2020.🧻🧻🧻🧴
And just ‘round the corner - The holiday season,🎄🎅🏼
But why be merry? Is there even one reason👩🏽🍼✝️
To decorate the house And put up the tree,🎄
When no one will see it, No one but me.🔎👓🤦♀️
But outside my window🪟 The winter now calls,🌨
And I think to myself, Let’s deck the halls!☃️⛄️☃️⛄️
So, I gather the ribbon,🎗 The garland and bows,🎀
As I play those old carols, My happiness grows. 🥰🤩🥰🤩🥳
Christmas is not cancelled⛪️🎄🎅🏼 And neither is hope.
If we lean on each other,👨👩👦👦I know we can cope ❤💚
