Forever Fighting Poem by Nafisa SB

On our borders are the soldiers
Fighting to protect our land
In the country are the doctors
Less praised, yet most noble band

Forever fighting day and night
When Covid tried to show its might
They slogged for us, so we could rest
To keep us safe, they did their best

Their own homes - although they care
They leave to Fate, to do their share
While in their homes, their kids do cry
To help the needy, they do try

Suffocating in their PPE kits
They learnt to cope, and keep their wits
Managing to keep their health secure
While the labs worked to find a cure

Let us salute, and cheer them on
Now that the pandemic's almost gone
Let's always lend a helping hand
To this selfless, courageous band

Keeping all diseases at bay
Is their motto - come what may
So till they walk on their chosen tracks
We all are safe, and can relax

My sincere and most humble thanks
To all who join these noble ranks
Because of you, we all agree
The world is safe, and we are free.
