HEROES FOR LIFE

HEROES FOR LIFE

Another day has come and gone 
But I'm still holding on
Sheltering at home alone 
Once in a while peeking out my window 

The streets are quite 
Curfew is in place
Just the noise of ambulance sirens 
Singing in the air

The hospital is only a block away 
And as one who worked there
I am sure the doctors and nurses 
Had another rough and difficult day

From those in the emergency room 
To the many units on the floors 
The housekeepers that sanitizes everything 
And the security officers 
That secures the doors 

The dietary aide that prepares the food 
The transport workers 
That rushes down the corridors 
The nurses assistant 
Who has one of the hardest tasks 
To the X-ray technician 
Behind the protected glass 

Thank you all
For your service and care
Without your kindness and love
There will be no healthcare.

Wilford Barker.

Love this, Wilford.  Right now, it is these healthcare workers who are on the front line fighting the enemy who are our heroes. And this poem is sooo right for the moment x
