(A Peri-Covid Note to the Healthcare Teams)
This is a song for you for standing unshaken,
This is a call to say let your spirit awaken,
To the love we have for you,
To the faith we have in you.
You braved the chaos of a passion without regret,
You have walked down a part uncharted yet,
A muscle-wrecking isle of the brave,
A pain-breathing isle and didn't cave.
Rode through a fire to win a battle on the other side,
As some among us made camp to mock and deride,
As your ears hurt, your body sore and tender,
As the bug in the jab set your body on fire.
And we shall remember you when it's our time to cross,
That you touched the water first and made it across,
For ages, we shall remember your name,
And for ages we shall sing your fame.
Endure ye the mist and unbroken shadows,
Fight on, O ye gallant soldiers and fellows,
Fight on, O ye deliverers of mankind,
Chart a path yet again for your own kind.
