Poem Title:
Poem
By John Weaver & Dedicated to Liz Who cares for the carer? is the question that I ask. Who is helping them help another with their overwhelming task Who is trying to ensure they remain healthy, fit and strong As they nurse and feed the one in need all day and all night long? Who thinks about the carer? is the thought that comes to me When all thought is for the needy and that’s the way it ought to be But just a little bit of thoughtfulness would not go astray For the one who works and struggles without a thought for pay. Who worries about the carer? is my other great concern If they should fall to sickness where would the needy turn? The one they love is the one they want and on whom they depend To wash and feed and dress them and to be with them to the end Who would care for the needy? is the fact we have to face If something happened to the carer then who would replace That committed and devoted, caring loving soul Who gave their all without complaint in a hard and stressful role. But we know who will care for the carer When their mortal coil is through When all their earthly labours get the recognition that is due When at last they can rest eternal with no further demands In peace and joy and secure in the Greatest Carer’s hands.
