Poignant Words from Anon

Todays words from sister deserve their own thread, she didn’t say who wrote them or where they came from. I apologise that it's long but joining up didn't work.

Stay safe inside
I’m feeling alone
I’m feeling confused
I’m stuck in my house
And there’s nothing to do
I can’t go out walking
I can’t see my friends
I can’t do the things
On which I solely depend
I know all the rules
And by those I abide
I’ll stay in my house
But the sadness I can’t hide
I see lots of news
Social media posts
I see you with family
Having fun, making toasts
Don’t get me wrong
It’s a lifeline for me
Takes my mind off the long days
That stretch before me
You all make me laugh
You all make me see
There’s people still out there
Not just little old me
I read daily the figures
Of those who have passed
Of those that survived
And those that wear masks
Of doctors and nurses
Tending the ill
Supermarket workers
Our bellies they fill
Truck drivers
Police, Pharmacies too
All doing their jobs
Like those on the news
Keeping us well
At the cost of their lives
Separated from loved ones
No one at their sides
Some working from home
And driving you mad
But they’re wishing they were in
The office they had
This virus has come
And it’s changed how we live
Some losing jobs
No money to give
It’s hard for us all
But we’re doing our best
At 8pm we clap
In our pyjamas and vests
We hope it soon ends
We hope to be free
From our houses, our shackles
Just let me be me
We’ll be out in our droves
We’ll sit by the sea
We’ll go out for dinner
Or invite you for tea
Saying Hello, to each passer-by,
We’ll relish that moment
No more we will sig
But until then
Let’s all stick together
In these challenging times
Look after yourselves
And just stay safe inside
Absolutely beautiful! We are all a bit lost right now, the majority of us are doing our best to help those mentioned above and we need to give them some serious respect when this is all over as they are keeping the country going! My husband went to our local co-op on Friday as we needed milk for our son, he thanked one of the women working there, saying he really appreciated her being there, as he couldn't do his shopping without her being there. She was really touched and got a bit emotional.
So true i just wish the idots listen but its never going to happen i was just reading a article where someone said go put in gym gear and when stopped say your taking a break. They in a whats app group whice tells them where police are they just dont understand. police will have to start going out undercover to start catching these fools
And this woman would do jail if stopped taking child out so stupid and childish behaviour 
My friend, who lives just down the road from me (we can see each others houses from our windows, our sons wave at each other) goes for a short walk with her son twice a week just so he isn't inside the whole time. She is out for 10 minutes max.
I can't believe the man in the WhatsApp group! It is people like them that are going to make the lockdown last longer and spread it further.
Also I don't think the health secretary needs her advice!
Ann1984 I think she's just being a bit dramatic and rebellious. That's all. I doubt she'd actually put those words into practice. The problem is Ann, people are a bit dim. You have those who overthink rules, those who think they know better and those who just don't understand the logic, reasoning and science behind it all. That woman is the first of those three in my opinion.
I so agree beautfull words thanks hun x 
I agree I felt alone before this no friends etc because what wrong with me but everything that going on i realise we all in this together we need each other no matter what and life is too short love to all stay safe x
That is very well put and reflects how many folk are feeling. Maybe we could spend some time writing our own poem to put on this thread. Words of encouragement and to uplift?
Hi lilyflower thank you, that is just so beautiful x Sadly our family has lost a much loved friend to the virus. When this is over our family and hers will get together to celebrate her wonderful life. I hope they will ban the exercise part of the lockdown after all the sunbathers. It is unfortunate for those who have a safe early morning run etc. This week there has been more people and cars around even though more people are losing their lives. I was sent this and it's beautiful. Stay safe everyone and hugs to you all. We will get through this x
Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine.
Under the shelter of each other, people stay alive 
Ive said for ages that the 'out for exercise' should be banned too,if youve a garden,use that- if you havent use the living room.its not rocket science! Theres loads using the exercise loophole to flout the rules...The poems nice,but not sure about the "out in droves' bits a great idea,it might start it all up again??.....
