Yes There Are

Yes there are

The teacher who cares

The fireman who dares

The police who simply just do

The nurse who won't tire for you

Yes there are

The vet who burns the night light

The doctor who makes it right

The carer who's word is more than alright

The volunteer who won't quit

The social worker who'll make sure

The friend who'll stand by you

Yes there are 

The soldiers who'll protect

The sailors who'll defend

The airmen who will not quit 
when they're in the thick of it

Yes there are 

Good people in our lives 

Good people with no disguise

Good people who we should all praise

To all the good people out there

I salute you because you really care.

Hi Jan, Thanks for your comments. Too many good people don't get the praise they deserve. Cheers,
