forever fighting

On our borders are the soldiers

Fighting to protect our land

In the country are the doctors

Less praised, yet most noble band

 

Forever fighting day and night

While Covid tries to show its might

They slog for us, so we can rest

To keep us safe, they do their best

 

Their own homes – although they care

They leave to Fate, to do their share

While in their homes, their kids do cry

To help the needy, they do try

 

Suffocating in their PPE kits

They learn to cope, and keep their wits

Managing to keep their health secure

While the labs work to find a cure

 

Let us salute, and cheer them on

Not just till the pandemic’s gone

Let’s always lend a helping hand

To this selfless, courageous band

 

Keeping all diseases at bay

Is their motto – come what may

So till they walk on their chosen tracks

We all are safe, and can relax

 

My sincere and most humble thanks

To all who join these noble ranks

Because of you, we all agree

The world is safe, and we are free.
