Its 2a.m
I’m really tired
I have a cough
And I have a fever
The doctors are running all over the place
Looking for medicine
Calling out names
And I just lay on a bed
Thinking;
“OH! today is Monday”
My mother is not here
She was not allowed to come with me
She was left behind with my Nan, my sister and my dog Lee
The men said that ill be okay and they just took me away
I was asleep all the way here
everyone was nice to me
I don’t know why but I can’t really feel myself
My body hurts, and I can’t really move
I could see a lot of people
Everyone is sleeping
And now my father comes running
‘’Champ, hang on I’m coming’’
I can’t see his face
But hear his voice
Saying that I will be okay
‘I know dad’, I say
‘I know I’ll be okay ‘
‘Doctor we need to go’
I hear a lady say
My father looks at me
And then turns away
I don’t like you corona
Today is Monday
Why did you have to come today?
Your so tiny but deadly
Why are you acting this way?
Its Quarantine period
I have heard Nan say
It’s the time to stay at home
And not go out to play
Well today is Monday
And this is all I want to say
Please stay indoors
It’s quarantine period
Don’t go outside
And don’t complain
You’re at least safe
If you just stay at home and not go away
It’s Monday,
‘Please Lord, save me ‘
That is my wish
Because todays my Birthday!
