Talented young Derry girl Faye (10) pens poem paying tribute to NHS staff and urging everyone to ‘stay inside to save lives’

Ten-year-old Faye Collins loves to write and the talented local girl has put a positive spin on life under lockdown.

Here’s Faye’s thoughts about the current situation we are all facing....

Covid-19 - it’s a time we will never forget

The shops were all sold out by my daddy had plenty of stout.

We had to stay in so that we could win, for Covid-19 to never be seen.

Lockdown hasn’t been so bad but some people were quite sad,

We clapped for the NHS because they are the best.

Arts and crafts have been fun, we even made some buns,

Our bedroom has turned into a school, and we think it’s pretty cool,

Tik Tok has kept us entertained so that we don’t go insane,

Everyone please be smart and let’s all do our part.

We know it won’t be for long, we all need to stay strong.

Please stay inside and help us save lives.

Faye Collins, 10 years old.
