I Shall Hold Your Hand
Love, I shall hold your hand - but not yet
An invisible enemy is posing our lives a threat
Filled with care and fear, I dare not touch
Anyone of us suffering, I cannot watch.
Let’s enjoy the romance like we once had
Rejoice in the sound of our beating hearts
It’s time again you read my eyes
Feel the love you can see but cannot touch.
We will have to wait
We will have to isolate
We will have to be selfless
But we can’t be heedless.
The borders have closed
But opened our minds-
Reckless and careless we’ve travelled,
So far, so long… the journey of life.
Everything got petty
When we understood the value of life
How have we for so long,
Turned a blind eye?!
The animals are moving freely
But humans are filled with fear
We have been so inhumane and deaf
To disregard their cries and ignore their tears
The air pollution is serious
We must have now learned
When the virus in the air -
Is trying to penetrate our lungs.
To fight an unhealthy enemy with all its will
The world has come to a standstill
Let all fall - the economy and the disguise
But the humanity from each core and corner arise
For the coming generation,
We will leave an exemplary fight,
One that showcases the togetherness for humanity
And exhibits the strength of unity.
Dear, I shall hold your hand - but not yet
Let us win against the COVID-19 dread
There will again be Love in the air
And we will be breathing free again everywhere!!
