A year ago

A year ago, I think I knew that things were changing

A year ago , I realised that while you were managing…

…just…the clock and your heart were ticking

Towards that final beat.

Yet work called – teaching, supporting, motivating –

Inspiring people to care,

Really care,

About those who were dying.

A year ago, right now,

We balanced hope with uncertainty

And tried to keep realism and optimism balanced

…not always successfully !
