A Face Among Many

I am a face among many, 

You know me, you don't,

You pass by me, you don't,

I am a helper,

Maybe a doctor

I am a vendor,

Maybe a cleaner.

     I am face among many, 

     I too have a family,

     Still I come your way,

     Still I help your life,

     You think I do my work,

     Well, I am paid for it

     But I too have a family.

I lay my life,

In a world infected,

I lay my life,

To help many,

Still you say, 

"Well, he "was" a doctor, 

He did his duty",

"But what about my life?

What about my family?"

     I too could stay at home,

     Still I am helping,

     And you say,

     "Well she "was" a teacher,

      She did her duty,

      And taught many."

I am a face among many,

I will remain one,

I don't want your sympathy,

But a little heart will do,

I don't need your feelings,

But a little remembrance will do.

      Remember me in your prayers,

      I too have a family,

      Like all of you at home,

      I too have dear ones,

      Like all of you at home.
