And this is what it took
For family bonds to be restored
For homes to be taken care of
For those odd jobs to be done
And this is what it took
For puzzles to be dusted off
For forts to be built
For more books to be read
And this is what it took
For families to bake together
For our bodies to be nourished
For health to be prioritised
And this is what it took
For children to learn of boredom
For friendships to strengthen
For the birds to be heard
And this is what it took
For driveways to be played on
For rainbows to be drawn
For neighbours to connect
And this is what it took
For time in nature to be appreciated
For music to be enjoyed
For creativity to come alive
And this is what it took
For communities to unite
For Mother Earth to regenerate
For new ways to be discovered
And this is what it took
For the world to truly slow down
And if this is what it took…
What are we taking away from all of this?
