There is a hero lurking in the deepest, darkest night.
A hero whose work is always shining bright.
A hero filled with concern, compassion, and care.
A hero that, when needed, will always be there.
There is always something around putting up a good fight.
This hero will always do their best to do what is right.
It doesn't matter the person, the time, or the circumstance.
This hero works to help someone feel better – even if it's half a chance.
They might look into your eyes or peek into an ear.
They might press down on something and say, “Is there any pain near?”
They might give you something to fix everything.
They might also say you're just fine and don't need anything.
So who is this hero, many may ask?
Who could ever fulfill such a task?
You see, this hero walks amongst us every day.
We don't see them unless we need them in some way.
Who is this hero who deserves such a large shrine?
It's your community doctor who works hard to make
everyone feel fine.
