We have to smile…

We have to smile,

Whatever the situation may be pretty ridiculous,

We should be joyous

whether the situations may be different.

We have thought, "we will make it best."

Now we have learned to live with insecure journey,

The worse even rises to the top, we will look forward expectantly.

Overcoming the pandemic period is a hard journey,

We will never bet against nature,

The pandemic warned us, so we have to live under some protocol till now and further,

The protocol cannot be ignored ruthlessly.

Now we have learned to live thinking of ways to survive,

The situation has made our lives pretty terrible to live.

If we survive this battle against pandemic, can we change our life for better?

We need reassurance from nature-

whether or not we make it back to normal life after the pandemic will over,

she has to swear that she will kick out the fear,

and if anyone can make it, she will, and the thing she has to add to our list, that is our smile.

Can't we just wait for a while?
