A poetic tribute to all frontline workers, this is my personal THANK YOU!

Hooray for heroes!

You’ve done so much for us

So much more than we even know

And we will not forget

You deserve a badge of honor,

To recognize all that you did!

The commitment you made to serve

The way you risked your life

Pressing your way on to work

While we stayed at home inside

You kept our communities safe

One day at a time,

And as we near the end of the tunnel

Behold, we’re starting to see the light!

Hooray for heroes!

You’ve fought the good fight

What can we do to honor you?

What words can we say

Or what tribute can we pay

To honor all that you do?

We would not be where we are

If it wasn’t for courageous souls like you!

Hooray for heroes!

You’ve made this world a better place

Rest assured, when this is all over

We will not forget your face

For you stood for us all when we could not stand

You protected our people and our land

You made this country a better place

Hero, my hero, your memory will always remain
