Self Isolation

Francesca Webb, 10

Sitting at my desk
Wishing it could be next year
Missing summer fun

On google classroom
My days are long and boring
What is happening?

Hospitals full up
Doctors working very hard
No more face masks left

Nothing in the shops
I hope old people are fine
Our street is quiet

Sitting in my room
I’m safe but I am worried
We have to stay strong
