Angels of Mercy

Angels of Mercy

To all those who have been deemed essential 
Dealing with a virus, with a death rate so potential 
Looking into the eyes of a gowned, masked healer
Seeing fatigue and fear, but bravely the concealer

To all the police officers, who place their lives on the line
To all the nurses, who lovingly care for all those confined 
To all the doctors, who have always been there for us all
To all the paramedics, caring for the big and very small

To all the bus drivers who bravely take people to and fro
To all the truckers, driving lonely, away from all they know
To all the grocery workers, stocking shelves of what we need 
To all the frontline workers, always there to help us succeed 

To all the families, adhering to all the social distancing now
To all the children, in this fearful time, being brave somehow
To each and everyone of us, this virus has somehow touched
We are all angels of mercy, our undying humanity untouched
