Girl pens heartfelt poem for NHS workers

Sophie Cooper with her NHS Heroes poem

Sophie Cooper, a girl at a local school in south London, has written a heart-felt poem for NHS workers caring for patients with coronavirus:

The world is changing every day,

To a place I once knew is not the same,

We have to stay home to keep us safe,

But doctors and nurses are working till late.

 

They are leaving their families with a hug and a kiss,

To save the world from the coronavirus.

 

These are the heroes, the heroes of the NHS,

They’re risking their lives with tears in their eyes,

They’re tired and hungry and praying and hoping that one day this will end.

 

With gloves on their hands and masks on their faces,

These NHS heroes are angels sent to save us.

 

We thank you for your love and care,

In this scary time we all share,

The whole world claps their hands,

To you with a big cheer.

 

Thank you!

    A beautiful poem. I hope you don't mind, but I have included it in a talk I am recording for our local church service. I will credit you at the beginning.
    Well written and I love the sentiment. My niece is a nurse on a coronavirus ward, so it touches me deeply. Thank you
