Community Spirit

Those Working On The Front Lines

With Hearts Of Gold

Their Stories Too Hard To Be Told

So Sending Some Basic Needs

To Make Them Feel Whole, Human Again

Is Being Organized 

By Groups, Communities And Friends

It’s A Way To Thank Them For Their Service, Courage And Strength 

Hot Meals By The Hundreds Are Being Sent

They Were Never Trained For This

The Numbers, The Decisions They Have To Make

How To Save A Loved One

Save Another Family From Unbearably  Heartache 

Hospital Doctors Are Now Going Out To Visit Our Aged

As Appointments Are Not Being Kept While Cocooning At Home

People Are Waiting With Serious Ills

Some Days Before Presenting At A&Es

With Heart Attacks And Strokes

Some Leaving It Late

For The Best Outcome To Be

Because They Are Afraid, And Rightly So To Walk Through Those Hospital Doors

Thinki©©©ng That Their Loved Ones

Will See Them No More

So Know That Your Efforts

Are Never In Vain

We Are Staying The Pace

Winning The Race
