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
When Covid tried to show its might
They slogged for us, so we could rest
To keep us safe, they did 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 learnt to cope, and keep their wits
Managing to keep their health secure
While the labs worked to find a cure
Let us salute, and cheer them on
Now that the pandemic’s almost 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.

- Comment from author about the poem: this was written during Covid, but holds good today too - our gated society has many doctors, and each of them is always just a call away, so we are truly blessed.

A fine tribute Nafisa , to those doctors who worked tirelessly through COVID to save lives and keep us safe, while they themselves were also at risk. Not only them, but nurses too who also played their part. Penned with gratitude and read in total agreement. Have a beautiful day dear poet.
hi Cassie. you are absolutely right - the nurses also played an exemplary and supporting role during those days, and are to be commended too, along with all those generous souls who reached out with a helping hand, where needed
thanks for the reminder
have a lovely day, and a beautiful week
