The Friendly Carer
steve beer 1969
As I age I struggle to keep my eyes open
From not having a bed time to wishing I could keep to one
From school to work nothing changed
still told what to do just like I was and will always be
wakeing up mornings waiting for my carer to come
looking at the clock
hope my carer comes i need a shower with in the hour
in a few hours i will be washed dryed dressed and smelling of levander.
thank you carers what you do
