FREE MEAL
During the height of the pandemic
It's easy to understand why those
Who could leave did
But others chose to stay
Daring to walk through the ambulances
Surrounding the hospitals
Into the main entrance
Ready to fulfill their duty
At seven every night
Those who remained in the city
Would stand by their
Windows and terraces
Banging pots
Making noises
Thanking those who kept doing
What was necessary
Whether delivering food
Or answering an emergency call
Now as the pandemic seems
To be receding
As the memory of their valor
Becomes fainter
A free meal
Offered by a restaurant
In Forest Hills to the
First responders and
Healthcare workers
Is a nice way to make sure
No one forgets those
Who stood up
When they were needed
