I’ll Stay At Home Poem

I’ll stay at home
And help the cause
To stop the virus
I need to pause

I’ll stay at home
And help my community
To stop the virus
I need to do my duty

I’ll stay at home
And reach out to my friends
To stop the virus
I need to make amends

Yes I feel weird
Yes I feel strange
Yes I wish
We could just be together again

Yes I am frustrated
Yes I could scream
Yes I wish I could be on life‘s team

But I can’t right now
And that’s okay
So let’s find a way
To be okay today

I can write a letter
I can draw a picture
I can put it in the post
Signed, sealed and delivered

I can share my love
In a different way
Imagine the surprise
When it is opened one day

I can listen without distractions
On a video call
I can show I understand
Even if they drop the ball

For I know deep down
That the virus is here
But kindness and compassion
Can also spread this year

Then when we look back
We will see we have changed
We will be wiser and kinder
And never quite the same
