Modern Day Heroes

I could write a poem about heroes,
Heroes who fought the great war.
About men who have died
With their friends by their side,
Never knowing what they were fighting for.

I would rather write about heroes,
Heroes we see everyday.
It's the battle they fight
From morning until night,
From a virus that won't go away.

So thank you, doctors and nurses,
The ambulance men,and scientists combined.
All of the people,
Trying to find a world cure.
For putting their lives on the line.

What a thoughtful, caring verse as a tribute to those men and women who are working so hard to help us defeat this dastardly virus! Thanks for sharing these thoughts, Simon.
