Everyone sang.
In the midst of our invisible war
Remembering the bloodshed and sacrifice
Of those who had gone before,
We stood and we sang.
In houses, in isolation
To a socially distanced band
“We’ll meet again”
Rang out across the land.
Pictures of brave voices,
From workers, from houses
From hospitals, from children
Joined in this one song,
And we wept
As everyone sang.
This was
Our tribute
Our celebration
Our hope.
