The Ultimate Sacrifice And Cost. Poem by David Boyce

The ultimate sacrifice and cost.

The country are working together now,
To help stop this Coronavirus to spread,
Thousands of vulnerable people in isolation,
Otherwise they could end up dead.

The Coronavirus is a worldwide Pandemic,
So there is no escape by travelling away,
Unless you are a key worker,
Put yourselves in isolation and stay.

Panic buying of vital food and provisions,
Seems to have started to calm down again,
For those trying to get their list of weekly shopping,
It has been a massive pain.

We can all get through this together,
Sadly some lives will be lost,
Many frontline key workers losing their lives,
And will pay the ultimate sacrifice and cost.

The NHS is struggling now,
Doing their very best to try and cope,
Calling retired staff to help once more,
So we can all live in hope.
