Dear Mother and Father

Mother, Father tho I don’t know where you are
Thank the Lord you aren’t here in today’s bizarre
Both of you were the last oldies in my life 
I am so relieved you won’t witness any of this strife
Whilst it is my time getting on in years
Myself and my spouse are my children’s fears

We are only on the second day of our necessary isolation to stay safe and protected from our infectious nation
Now the powers to be and we watch them everyday as they announce on the television about the things they say
Well they think our plight might last for months to come 
I just can’t imagine the thought of this humdrum

But dear Mother and Father whilst I think of you I can almost imagine your faces looking sad and blue
Do you look down from heaven in the skies above ?
Blowing me kisses and sending me love
I like to think that you are both up there snuggled together sat on a comfy chair
At least I know you are away from this mess
As I think of the pair of you up there “Oh bless”
