Caregiver Poem by MELVIN BANGGOLLAY

CAREGIVER
Melvin Banggollay

Imagine if the world has no caregiver
then who would tend those tender flowers
Who still needs a hand as they yearn
to have wisdom scents and try to learn
and wander around to behold wonders
of the life they had to become wonders.

What if no one will ever try to be caregiver
then who'll attend to the weak and meager
who needs more than a palm to govern
and who needs strength only to discern
As the power of their youth now a cadaver
as their energy fades as we all discover.

Who will dare to clean the dirt of someone
specially those who can't clean their own
Like those naughty kids and the weakling
the old aged who barely move in their bed
if not anyone who has the heart and soul
to care for others even its not their own.

The world can not deny, Pinoy's are the best
caregivers the world had ever seen
Not because they can easily do odds jobs
Not because they used to have hard lives
Simply because they have caring heart
gentle and kind to care anyone so smart.

But in reality, everyone is a caregiver
As we all care the needs of every members
of the family we've tried to shield
with a love in our desire to see them bid
fruitful life no one should ever forbid.

We can make this world a place of wonder
if we all try to be good gentle caregivers
with love and care to every needy brothers
and sisters who were victims of calamities
and impending abuses of those terrorists
and other victims of violence of all sinners.
