Lest We Forget – By Wanda Williams

Lest We Forget – words spoken of our Anzacs our brave courageous fighting men & women the ones who gave of themselves to protect our homelands so we could have the privileged lives we lead today, some may say they are long since forgotten only a mere memory of a time that once stood, to the majority of us they are the Heart Stone of our beautiful country New Zealand.

As we step forward in time we have other brave men & women frontline emergency staff, doctors, nurses, caregivers, the other unsung heroes that are keeping us provided with food, equipment the necessities we need in this time of Lockdown all giving of themselves unselfishly to fight to protect to be of assistance while we hunker down to get through our latest attacker Covid-19, a silent deadly killer that slips quietly into the human host it doesn’t matter what colour nor creed nor social standing you are it attacks without warning & leaves the clutches of its victims at its mercy.

Spare a thought for these brave souls that battle tirelessly to save the lives of those that have fallen victim to this deadly virus,

Spare a thought for the families of these brave souls that battle to save the lives of those that suffer this illness, they too suffer in silence as they are the support people for these people to do their jobs effectively,

Spare a thought for the families of those souls that have fallen to the Covid-19 virus,

Spare a thought for yourself as when this is all over & you are still standing that you were one of the lucky ones that survived this ordeal,

Lest We Forget.
