Grace and Solitude

Amidst the assertive shrill noise
Of debate, slandering and fight
caregivers held nerve and poise
call of duty was their only sight.

Putting their own very lives at stake
Angels in white went about it in grace
nursing those affected in outbreak
Fine recovery, their efforts showcase.

They bore the brunt of anger of few
whose dear ones succumbed to chill
hiding angst, kept up a smiling hue
with fortitude and professional skill.

These angels are the saviours prime
we cannot repay for service yeomen
doing best, they have been sublime
In solitude, we pray for them, amen!

We can never repay them. Only gratitude and blessings for angels like them. Lovely thought.

My daughter-in-law is a nurse doing ICU and emergency room double duty these days. They are our heroes indeed and in word. This is a great prayer for them in their solitude when thoughts catch up with them. Congratulations, Mohan.

Reason, happy to note that you could relate. Despite the fact that these angels have been working tirelessly in current times, many of them have faced hardships and wrath of few ignorant and affected people who lost covid battle in my country. Now govt had passed law against such behaviour. Thanx. Mohan

I too pray for the "angels in white" and realize we can "never repay" them.
