Thank everyone who’s helping us right now.
The postal workers: thank them from afar.
Don’t moan about delays. Think about how
They’re risking their own lives: each one a star!
And yes, the NHS deserve our praise;
That is a given. But think of the workers
In private nursing homes. That’s tough, these days!
They’re working just as hard! They are no shirkers!
The supermarket workers, too, are heroes.
Ensuring we can get our food, they’re there.
Before, their worth was counted near to zero.
Perhaps, at last, we’re growing more aware.
Thank all these people. Praise. Admire. Adore.
Then wonder why you never did before.
