You’re on the frontlines

The best in your field

For the betterment of others

You refuse to yield

To the pressures, the exhaustion

To the voice that says, “You’re done.”

You carry on each day

Because the battle isn’t won

You’re okay going unnoticed

As long as your efforts are not

Saving lives has been

The best reward you’ve got

To the nameless, to the faceless

Heroes, you’ll always be

Your many acts of kindness

Are a gift for all to see
