To firefighters charging toward danger
As people run the opposite direction
To safety; literally walking through
Raging fire and smoke to rescue
Those trapped inside their burning homes
Thank you
To social workers, youth mentors
Doing their best to assist people in need
Cope with problems they’re facing
To improve their lives
Thank you
To doctors and nurses healing the sick
And saving lives every single day
Notwithstanding the stress of their jobs
Thank you
To the cops serving and protecting
Our communities; doing their jobs without
Ever using excessive or deadly force
Thank you
To those volunteering at food pantries
Providing goods for low-income families
Or even poorer people; unlikely to be
Thanked by Academy Award winners
Thank you
To those intrepid American soldiers still
Engaging enemy combatants in the battlefield
For the love and service of their country
Leaving none of their fallen infantrymen
Behind in trenches
Thank you
