Swerve me but please smile at me too
When next you see me on the street;
I promise to do that for you,
Look up, not down, at your tired feet.

We are all in this together
The politicians love to claim;
This will not go on forever,
Nobody here that we should blame.

Do not use this as time for greed,
Practice compassion and be kind;
Physical distance is all we need,
Keep each other in heart and mind.

When the time comes to stay at home
As it will surely do so soon,
Do not forget mail, text and phone
To keep in touch through May and June.

Swerve me but please smile at me too
When next you see me on the street;
I promise to do that for you,
Look up, not down, at your tired feet.
