Isolation: A poem by Keith from Bevan Crescent

Maltby Bevan Crescent Community Group are a talented bunch & this topical poem was written by one of its members - thanks for sharing Keith - we love it.

We all decided that for the best we'd postpone our meetings and give it a rest
We just didn't know what the future would hold but we didn't want to be left out in the cold
So here I am, I must isolate, what's happening now? How long will this take?
I'm watching the tele, the news is bad it's really heartbreaking it's making me sad
The hours go by and the day seems so long oh please open the centre. I miss the sing song
The telephone rings and it startles me but it wakes me from my revelry
A friendly voice now fills my ear a welcoming sound, someone knows I'm here
I recognise the familiar tone' thank god here's a chinwag, I'm not alone
I'm missing our meetings, I'm missing my friends, I'm missing the laughter that never ends
I'm missing the quizzes that Keith and Phil do, hope you're missing me because I'm missing you
But I believe this will end one day then I open the doors and here's what I'll say
'Our Centre is open', I'm on my way I've lived to laugh another day
