these hands shave countless faces
these hearts unconditionally care
these eyes cry tears for strangers
these brave souls are still there
through these frightening times.

they cannot stay at home
they are the essential pillars of society
underequipped and undervalued
and they're on the frontline
fighting an awful virus.

they are begging for facemasks
they are begging for gowns
why should they beg for the protection
necessary to stop the spread of infection?
they are being let down

they are the ones who stand at bedsides
the nurses monitoring vital signs
the carers providing essential care
all of them safeguarding lives
while their own are being put at risk

so while you applaud
remember to never again say the words
"just a carer" or "just a nurse"
because blessed are the keyworkers
who risk their lives to help others.

give them all a clap for being there for you
thank them for there help and the job they do
risking there own lives with no questions asked
to them its just a job to which they all are tasked

when ever they are needed they will give there care
and the help you need they are always there
so think of all the people that are there for you
keyworkers and the rest there to help you through

give therm all clap  for being there for you
risking there own lives and the job they do
