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
Thinking 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
