Behind The Masks Poem by Susan Lacovara

Be mindful
Be thankful
Be aware
Your actions are a reflecting pool
Of these difficult days
We are all experiencing
FACING TOGETHER

Our heroes are cloaked
Behind sweat soaked masks
Stained by the tears they shed
During the daily struggle to save OUR lives

Let us pretend
(if only we could)
We could rally the strength
To serve...As THEY do

I am safe within the yellow walls of my home
While someone is dying, alone
Dare I think my days are the worst I have seen
When the soldiers of medicine and mercy
Witness sorrow on such a surreal scale

I will kneel before God
Ask HIS mercy
Seek HIS Divinity
And hold tight to the faith I have
In our Angels on Earth
