I pray for those who risk their lives,
And those behind them, husbands, wives.
I pray they know the work they do
Instills new pride, red, white, and blue.
Thank God for those who tend the land.
We give you thanks, for you we stand.
For many jobs, not just a few,
We’ll need the bold with courage, too.
I pray as they go back to work,
The owner, builder, server, clerk,
We let them know they make us proud,
Express our thanks, say it out loud.
The virus tried to make us sink.
Instead it gave us pause to think,
Appreciate the ones we’re near,
Restore the values we hold dear.
I have no doubt that we’ll restore
The loss we suffered, rise once more.
Thank you. They deserve it.
A beautiful tribute, John!
They deserve all the accolades we can give.
A great rhyme to support everyone in their respective service.
Thank you for your kind words.
that’s inclusive and impressive enough to be engraved on a bldg. or monument~we’ve had these moments before; as the Spanish Flu; polio,
and more. but this is for today. And it takes into account; who is in control.
