You're The Best Of Us

You seek no thanks,
Or financial gain.
Helping so many. 
Those in pain.

You give your time,
Life's cherished thing.
Aiding all afflicted,
Make their hearts sing.

A nurse, a doctor,
A driver, a carer.
All front line staff,
A united torchbearer.

Your days are long,
Every shift demanding.
You're a different breed,
All simply outstanding.

The presence of you,
Can make amends.
You are yourselves,
With no pretends.

All stoic staff,
Husbands and wives.
Sacrificing family time,
Even your lives.

Your acts of kindness,
Your deeds of good.
So pure and honest,
With no falsehood.

Sometimes we stumble,
We even fall.
You lift us up,
Each one and all.

Strength and resilience,
Determination and grit.
Making a huge difference,
For our benefit.

A beacon of hope,
You all do shine.
For all afflicted,
Their only lifeline.

Of your precious time,
Life's cherished thing.
Gifted to devoted duty,
Your song we sing.

Every demanding day,
A tough handicap.
And leaving home,
A respected handclap.
​
You soothe our worries,
Keep them at length.
Renew our spirits,
And give us strength.

All one in a million,
So good throughout.
We sing your praises,
Of that no doubt.

You're our champions,
Health's positive plus.
To put it simply,
You're the best of us.

Dedicated to Anoushka and Anisa and all NHS frontline staff.
Thank you all so much and you're never forgotten.
