An Ode to the Housekeeper
I come from afar,
Leaving my loved ones at large
I am a Housekeeper, I am here to serve!
I was here during lockdown,
Never did I bog down
Preparing to welcome you safe,
Anticipating your fear and inhibitions
I am the Housekeeper, I am there!
As dark clouds hover over,
As fear and panic grips,
I am called at forefront,
I am the Housekeeper, never my commitment dips!
I walk towards the unknown,
Wearing a smile & my prayer
I don’t flinch, don’t sweat.
I am the Housekeeper, I don’t dread!
I am called upon, I respond,
I am at the front, I fight.
To keep you safe, to keep you fit.
I am the Housekeeper, I use all my might!
I work long, work hard
I prepare for you to return.
I risked, I battled.
I am the Housekeeper, the war is still on!
I am the Housekeeper, help me help the World,
Wear masks, follow protocols,
Join me in this fight,
I am the Housekeeper, let’s do what’s right!
I don’t need gratification
I don’t need sympathy
I am the Housekeeper, show me empathy…
Together we can achieve,
Together we can win,
I am the Housekeeper, I believe!
