Here’s to the un-normal year
Un-normal meetings
The un-normal beers
To each one of you fighting through
Holed up in rooms staring at Zoom
To the events we’ve had to miss
Big birthdays, that just married kiss
Having to call on happy times
Losing loved ones with no last goodbye
To the super dads and mums
Keeping families going through all outcomes
To our people dressed in blue
Giving up their normal to care for you
To the ones helping their neighbour
With an ear to listen, a shopping favour
To un-normal conversations
Constant news updates, grim realisations
To the days we don’t forget
That some distance hasn’t stopped love yet
To a Christmas spent alone
Eating turkey on the telephone
If being lonely is a danger
Give your smile to each and every stranger
No kind gesture is too small
To a merry Christmas one and all
