Local Heroes

Our Frontline Workers In Our Local Shops 

Answered Our Call

Give Credit Where Credit Is Due

They Knew What To Do

To Keep Their Doors Open Wide, Risking Theirs And Their Families Lives

To Keep Us Supplied With Daily Needs

Kept Shelves Stocked Up With What Is Required To Keep Us ,Our Loved Ones And Our Homes Clean And Safe

From This Deadly Disease That Lives In Our Wake

For Some It Became A Daily Chore

To Take A Breath , An Escape From The Monotony Of Being At Home, Alone 

They Quickly Became Our Delivery Folk

Knocking On Doors

A Human Contact From The World Outside

A Breath of Fresh Air 

For Those Who Are Cocooning Inside  At Home, Some Alone

So As Our Commercial World Opens Up Again

As It Will Do

Let Us Not Forget Our Local Shops In Every City And Town

Who Became Our Lifeline 

When The Chips Were Down

When Everywhere Else Was Out Of Our Reach

The Important Part They Have Played For Us

Keeping Us Fed and watered, Without A Fuss 

So Let’s Give Back,

Pay Forward Economically To Our Local Stores

For Without Them Life Could Have Been More Difficult When Lived Behind Closed Doors
