Reflections of 2020

 

Time of anticipation of post winter renewal Jan Aware something in China, news a little vague 

    A few warm sunlit days in Gibraltar Feb sounds like a virus is coming our way

The opportunity to be in Pembrokeshire Mar Lockdown? Toilet roll supply in Wales

One working from home April One friend ill in ITU  

Blossom in trees and vulnerable deliveries May ITU friend dies now I’m angry and scared

  Being clapped thanks June One of the good guys

  Summer days by the sea July Maybe lockdown helped.

A birthday amongst concern Aug Supporting colleague’s work

    Finding ways to vary the routine Sept Tightening and tiers and tantrums

   The search for a rescue cat starts Oct A fresh wave brings saltwater tears

What about Christmas? Nov Creative work planning

Christmas, came, went Dec Did our best to please

And for an encore 2021 …?

The hill I’ve climbed

 Struggling in the tide,
Being honest,
Really trying not to hide,
The chance for vaccine came along

And Oxford A/Z 

Made me strong.

Like seeing blue sky,

After darker times 

seeing others die.

Then with clouds that blew away 

Playing their part

On Inauguration Day.

The Hill we Climb

Expressing hope 

For a coming time.

Relief and reflection,

With a yellow coat

Send us in a new direction,

As another lockdown week goes by.
