Before the virus, I went to school, everything was happy.

Now I see people with face masks and few cars
but I am happier to have more time with my mom
and I have more days to play.

I’m afraid that my family and friends will get sick.

I miss playing with my friends at school.
I miss visiting my grandparents at their house.
I dream about seeing my best friend and then us going to the beach.

While this [lockdown] happens, I draw pictures,

I play and I do homework.
I hope that this ends so I can go back to seeing my friends.
When all this ends, I will go to the park to skate.

All this will pass, we will be fine,

if we take care of ourselves [and]
wash our hands, the virus will die.
Stay at home so we can go out.

Life was always fast-paced, we never slowed down,
Until everything stopped when Corona came to town.

Now all is quiet and there’s peace all around,

We’ve looked in our hearts and kindness we’ve found.

We learn now with mum, this is a new feature,

But we can’t wait to get back to our teacher.

I miss Sea Cadets, school, my friends and my dad,

I miss sharing the fun times and that makes me sad.

We’ve had social distancing picnics, social distancing walks,

Social distancing hugs and social distancing talks.

I’m looking forward to getting away,

The beach, the hotel and a perfect holiday.

When it is? I’ll throw my arms open wide,

And shout to the world, WE CAN ALL GO OUTSIDE!
Don’t give up hope, the end is in sight,
If we all stick together, we’ll all win this fight.

“Stay Safe, Be Prepared”

We may be young or old,

But we must be bold,
Against the enemy untold.

We can’t go to malls,
Nor can we go to waterfalls,
Because this virus is a-scaring,

Sending our spines into a shivering.

If you have to go out, think twice,
Wear your mask, be wise.

After coming home, sanitise,

And wash your hands thrice.
COVID-19 is the name,

It is playing a hide-and-seek game.

By following the rules,
we can ensure endgame.

“Scare Way the Pandemic”

Coronavirus, the worst disease,

Hide in your homes, if you please.
A disease killing lives,

And spreading negative vibes,

Symptoms like fever making us weak,
Doctor’s help, we need to seek.

Started in China, now, the world if sick,

Let us unite and find a cure, quick.
You will have fever as I told,

You will get headache and a cold.

Following up, then comes cough,
Getting rid of, is now quite tough.
You will get problems of respiration,
Now, we all need prevention.
Muscle pain can come too.

Let us build immunity, me and you.

Wash your hands with some soap,
We’ll fight the virus, that’s the hope.

Sneeze and cough into a tissue,

Let’s take some steps to tackle this issue.
Don’t go to crowded places,

Don’t be one of those thousand cases,

Visit a doctor if you need care,
Now, just make others, all aware.
