That day when it is over

That day when it is over...

I will just sit by the window 

And bask in the rising sun..

Take in the moment

Of a fresh start

After the fear of uncertainty is done

That day when it is over,

I will smile at my friends lovingly

For just remembering them some of the days,

Had put a smile on me assuringly

That day when it is over

My kids will get that special treat

It may just be my time with them

But it would be without this...

constantly rising disturbing number sheet

That day when it is over

I will thank the birds that are around me

For even though I was not listening to them whatsoever

They never stopped singing to me consistently

That day when it is over

I will forget that it had ever happened

I will forget these hopeless jitters 

I will forget to crave for virtual connection

I will enjoy, with people, the beauty of the evenings

I will hold every hand that needs me

I will welcome the warmth of humanity

I will embrace nature's soothing beauty

And I will forget these lonesome days

That day, when these days are over...
