Who Are We? – Poem by Dan White
We are the proudest, the promises made
We are the frustrated, the workers unpaid
We are the listener, we are the voices
We are the nurses, makers of hard choices
We are qualified, with love unconditional
We have tolerance, loving all needs additional
We tend the forgotten, receive the gifts gladly
We war with intolerance, view the ignorant sadly
We are the loyal , we are the marooned
We take on the machine, we heal the wound
We are the tireless, we are the swarm
We are the power , the oncoming storm
We are the protectors, the guiding light
We are the warriors, the crusading knight
We are forgivers, life navigators
We are the template, the patient translators
We are the protectors, the keepers of beauty
custodians of mighty, the watchmen on duty
We are misunderstood, we are the strange
We live in a world we would never change.
We are the boxer ready to fight
We are the community that forever unite
We are behind doors, we are the hidden
We are welcome, but we are forbidden
