Now there are places
we can no longer be
and we will know faces
no longer seen.
On a day we have chosen
we shall enter the streets,
grasping our memories,
displaying our grief.
Revering the heroes
who gave of their life
to fight that good fight,
that we may survive.

- Comment from author about the poem: What our doctors and nurses go through in this Covid horror we can only imagine. One day, we must find a day, to pay our respect to them and those no longer with us. Just as we do for our soldiers...... but there is one courageous difference we should be mindful of. Unlike our soldiers they were never trained to face down a killer every day but they carried on.

Such an emotive write d a. We MUST revere the heroes who gave there lives for us in fighting this awful time, they are more than worth there weight in gold they must be shown our love.

More than that I believe. For as long as I can remember they have been bashed around like a tennis ball when it comes to their pay bargaining. After covid the economy will be in a mess so it may not happen immediately but let us develop a long memory of our national debt to them.
I am with you all the way dusk. They are more than mere heroes - never forget them.
Yes we must have a national day for them.
A fine tribute dusk - for the living and the departed.
Yes Orchidee, remember them in your prayers.
So meaningful your words at this time of troubles not seen before and heartfelt the reference you make to the heroes we may never meet but who will live in our memory. Putting this your emotive tribute into my favourites D.A.
I have had a lot of contact with our nhs heroes over the recent years and i'm fed up to the teeth of nhs knockers. We really must honour these people..... they are afraid of their environment and becoming infected but still they do their calling. Thank you for putting this subject among your fav's.
HI DA ~ BRIAN HERE ~ Thanks for a very apt & moving presentation. Love the visual .very dramatic & the video ~ haunting ! Your poem expresses how we all feel at this very depressing time. Places - Faces - Memories & Grief through our Lockdown & Isolation. The Medics are HEROES beyond adulation ! Angela works at the Hospital (Orhopedic & Physio) but comes home each evening haunted by what they are facing 24/7 on ICU ~ When will it ever end ? Thanks for caring.
Blessings & Peace & Joy to You & Yours
Love BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🤍💙🤍🧡
WTF are you to thank me for caring? Such a patronising thing to say.
Thanks for your COMMENT ~ I apologise ~ Uneccessary I guess because we ALL CARE !
Yours BRIAN !
absolutely spot on my friend....
My daughter is presently working on the front line having been told to work in intensive care because of the demand being made upon the unit.... just one of many..
Neville
There will, i'm sure, be a national demand for a day to remember and honour after covid has finished it's progress. Give your daughter a big warm hug please.
thanks DA... I hope so too sir... and sure will..
Neville
Wonderful heroes these ones who are facing the effects of this virus - - hospitals country-wide are seeing care shared by volunteer myriads - - - yes real heroes every single one.
I do feel utterly useless because i have this extremely vulnerable status whereas i'd like to be out there helping safely. However in isolating i'm saving them the hassle of having to treat me i suppose (fingers crossed).
