We Learned

The last year

Has taught

Us that

Silence isn’t

The absence

Of sound

It’s the sound

Drowned out

By something

So loud

We can’t

Hear it.

We have

Learned

In the last

Year

Heroes aren’t

Comic book

Characters

They are the

Frontline workers

Doctors, Nurses

Farmers,

Grocery store

Clerks

Risking there

Lives

So we can

Have food on

Our table

The medications

We need.

We learned too

That special need

Caregivers are

The superheroes

As they find

Themselves
