So many people we never hear about,

Now every Thursday we scream andshout.

That shelf filler, bin man, And the NHS too,

We have become so thankful and proud of you.

Everyday you leave a safe place,

To help someone just another face.

But you know in your heart for sure,

To all waiting at home they mean so much more.

The little people working doing there best,

This pandemic has put us all to the test.

And from the reaction of all the land,

They all respect to give you a hand.

When its all over and they are remembering now,

I hope they totally remember and say how.

You all stood tall and went into the zone,

This you done many times and didn’t once moan.

The little people pushed aside for years,

Are now bringing the whole world to tears.

So many stories so many to say thank you to,

Because we can still live and eat because of you.

Another day will pass and a new day will start,

So many family’s together while others apart.

Lets never forget all those who gave there life,

Just so you, me and our children can survive.
