I wished to travel to my place so dear,
Giving a test, many fear.
I stumbled at finish line,
Commencing 14 days of quarantine.
In a flash, bestowed with promotion,
Owning top floor, with tons of emotion.
One after other, bonus followed,
Each time I knew, my freedom narrowed.
Blessed with darkness from Power God,
Loads of humidity and heat from Sun God,
Always special Each Bonus is,
Life's biggest learning for sure, it is.
Footsteps of Mom I wait to hear,
For my food I hold so dear
Her smile lits up the darkness,
Even with face masks on.
Tears of joy rolled, I passed the test
Little I knew, its not for the best.
Strong invisible force surrounds me,
Repelling everyone as far as it could.
With deep smile and hope,
I accept back my promotion.
Footsteps of Mom, I wait to hear..
