Angels (A Thank You to the NHS on Christmas 2021)

AuburnScribbler

 

They stand proud, aloft the Christmas tree,

they’re the main event, everyone can agree,

but there are other angels, that cast their shine,

upon the wards, with loving care they intertwine.

 

A symphony of beeps, and ardent cries dwell,

but scrubbed up angels, make sure all is well,

they dash around tenaciously with swift wings,

ensuring that the bedded, can look forward to things.

 

With warming gratitude, patients become family,

when they ring their victory bells, affirmatively,

after all of those viruses, are drained and then binned,

the angels and the cured, are seen with matching grins.

 

So, the next time you see the top of the Christmas tree,

imagine that it’s them, sparkling down their glory,

for they are truly chiefs, when it comes to the ranks,

thus, I would like to give you all, my vote of thanks.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Most of us would agree that the angel (or star, or whatever you have) is the main decoration when it comes to the Christmas tree. However, to me, it can also be a symbol of a true hero, in this case the NHS. It's still is a very tough time when it comes to hospitalisation in the UK and around the world, so this poem is a thank you, to all the hard workers in the care sector. Accompanying the poem, is the NHS wings emblem from thesuitebath.co.uk, which captures the image succinctly. I hope that you enjoy the poem, and as always, please stay safe everyone.

            we should bring back
            the Thursday 'clapping of hands'
            gesture of support and togetherness
            maybe make it once a month?
            a timely and well written dedication
            thanks for voicing
            what most of us were thinking, dear Poet

            • AuburnScribbler

              Thanks for the read, your very kind comment and favouriting the poem L. B. Mek, it's very much appreciated.

              I agree some form of national day, or as you've said, the national clap to happen monthly, should return!

              I hope that all is well!
