Rainbow Solace by Corey Scott

At the moment the days may be quiet and still
But life is certainly not run of the mill.
High Streets are silent, activities are somewhat on pause
Let’s remember globally however, our sacrifice is for a greater cause.

We are all in our own little bubble
Relying on our shared British spirit to overcome uncertainty and potential trouble.
Our frontline workers never make a fuss
Carrying on diligently with their vital duties; whether you are teachers, carers or driving a bus.

Popularity is growing for Joe Wicks
amongst young people, as he leads them in their daily exercise fix
Studying is far from cool
As parents adjust to this new reality where living rooms are transformed into a school

We are grateful to our Supermarkets for helping to protect the coins in our purse
Whilst being mindful of the powerful impact that can be felt by a compassionate nurse
Gratitude toward doctors without doubt is the overwhelming feeling
Along with the call of nature, which is becoming more appealing,

Hard-working mail workers are ensuring we continue to receive our post,
From within our cities, towns, not forgetting our tranquil seaside coast
Community engagement is humbling from every voluntary rank
I never thought I’d be so grateful for a reliable bank.
Every kind act gives us reason to reflect and quietly thank.

If you are not careful your mind will be allowed to race,
I’m trying to learn to be gentle on myself and take each day at my own pace
My character is being tested, my very being
Change is afoot, the value of life is becoming clear as we are all newly seeing.

History recalls the four-minute mile and man on the moon
2020 will surely be defined as the year when the whole world went Zoom.

If you ever lose heart or do not feel quite so keen about soldiering on,
take comfort from the inspirational broadcast by her majesty the Queen

Displays of mutual solidarity are often rare,
Our weekly clap shows how much we appreciate and yearn for human love and care
The simplicity of a child’s rainbow and its legendary pot of gold
Emphasizes that happier times will return where infinite dreams will blossom and begin to unfold.
