Lockdown Explicates

Just when this was announced as a pandemic,
the “lockdown explicated.”
It brought about value for the loved one’s,
value in their care and their love.
Lockdown is like an eclipse,
Which prevails for a time and while and
drills our brain with the value of time.

Looking for help and looking forward to helping the needy.
It immensely satisfies our heart and soul,
not everyone is sailing in the same boat.
