.5. Caring Poem by David Threadgold

Sleep well rest your weary head
In slumbers be you still
Strength you always seem to find
Whilst others keep their fill

You always find a welcome smile
For others when in need
Then offer of yourself a while
While others let you lead

Worn out from all your labours
From shopping for the old
Cleaned windows for your neighbour
Made soup to stave off cold

Your selfless deeds without reward
So often seem unfair
From one whom most can ill afford
Work watched but no one shared

Sleep well you need to take a rest
Let others take the strain
You’ve worked so hard and done your best
And I’m sure you will again
