Unsung

This is dedicated to all the people who work without fanfare.


You may see us or not
You may not know what we do
But know that our jobs
Are meant to serve you

We do our work well
Our knowledge and experience complete
And most people don't know
For we are the discrete

We make things go right
In ways that most do not know
Quietly earning our paychecks
And without a big show

We toil in the background
Hands and heads to the task
And a trust in our abilities
Is all that we ask

Our jobs are anonymous
Unheralded in story or song
But if our work is done right
Then nothing goes wrong
