The Oath
Ordinary people step forward
In extraordinary times
Volunteers in a time of need
Risking their own lives and families
To answer others’ desperate pleas
Some find it hard to stay home
To sacrifice their social lives
To forego their human contacts
Till a return to sanity arrives
Strike a vivid contrast
To retired nurses and doctors
Emergency medical technicians
Police firefighters pharmacists
Clerks cooks food providers
Volunteers in a time of need
Leaving their homes every morning
Laying it all on the line
They took an oath
They could take a pass
None would blame them
None would shame them
They took an oath
And they will honor it
Courage is as courage does
In the dark days of fear
