For the Service of Noble Workers

Together on the bed I lay

Stripped off yesterday

Aware of the present

For the service of noble workers

Sacred gifts of heaven

Shining in the sky

Yet we forget to behold the sight

They are left taken for granted every time

Their performance commands a different stage

Their costume requires a mask on their face

No one buys tickets to the nurse's room

No one stands in line to see the teacher

Yet without them we hardly have to  move

They bring us jello and fruit

They bring us control over our soul

While keeping alive the lonely dreamer

Still watching over our body

Ready to do what they must

COVID -19 sets the rules of an unsure reality

We stay home and so many make a fuss

While the nurses stay out on the front

is it for a thousand pieces of gold?

Or pennies that change to mud in their hold?

Is it because God or the President tells them to?

Or is it because they are a nurse

They must find a way to relieve the hurt

They are teachers they must inspire even when it is the very worst

Would we know of our world

Thank you to all these boys and girls

All you sweet children

We see you far in the distance

Running the relay come what may

Your star shines bright in my sky always

I see the caterpillars

working on the land

noble service workers

Performing with their hard working hand

One wears a mask in the ER

One teaches on the video from a far

Nurses and teachers

The fairies and dreamers

Sprinkle your fairy dust on me

Help me to see my body

Help me to know its name

Without you teaching me

I would have grown insane

My favorite ones were Dance, Art and English

I still dance today

When the other kids said she is too fat to sway

Despite what they say

She pulled me to the dance floor anyway

Now it is teacher and nurse day

Thanks for the lessons

Thanks for the medicines

i breathe smarter in a way

With the sunlight on my back

The product of a lovely working hand

I see the caterpillars transform to butterflies

Giving the earth a new rebirth of irreplaceable shine

I am glad I got to know you

Even when times are dark

All you do, I remember always in my heart

For the service of noble workers are unforgettable

These are heroes of our world

Where is Superman, Supergirl

They use a different costume

A black board and a mask

For more noble services to perform with their hands

I see the caterpillars

Roaming over lands

For the service of noble workers

Everything is full circle

They set us all free

Like a thousand butterflies release
