a lockdown poem from 2020, inspired by Banjo Paterson's 'Moving On'
Staying Home
In these strange times, we're staying home
Staying home
When we'd normally roam, now we're all alone
Should friends call or come by
We can't let them inside
And we miss their company while
Staying home
In the living rooms, we're staying
Staying home
Close but still apart, through the phone
When the dearest and nearest
Leave their smiles behind their masks
We long for brighter days yet
Staying home
Though we're all apart, we stand together
Staying home
Through these trials, we endeavour
To keep our loved ones close
In spirit and in heart
Knowing better days will come through
Staying home.
