If only we knew

time is precious

If only we knew our time was precious

Would we have fought any longer?

If only we knew we would be separated.

Would we have hugged a little longer?

If only we knew we would be isolated.

Would we have met up feeling liberated?

If only we knew we would be sad.

Would we have spent the previous day glad?

If only we knew we would be bombarded.

Would we have been more guarded?

If only we knew we would be depressed.

Would we have decided to rest?

If only we knew we would be stuck.

Would we have thought this is just bad luck?

If only we knew the world is in disarray.

Would we have cheered louder, our last hip hip hooray?

This poem describes my thoughts about the pandemic and how people may be feeling over the past 3 years. My thoughts on how we may have treated certain situations if we knew the pandemic was coming.
