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 Date written and posted: 04/18/2019
