Good Samaritan
Always thinking about everyone and giving your all
Never making time to pamper yourself
Or let anyone take care of you
Keeping so busy as to forget your daily pain
That is the way you choose to cope
Life is about balance but you have no time
Everyone wants a piece of you
There’s not enough of you to go around
You want to be the fairy godmother of everyone’s dreams
To keep up, you would need to regenerate your strength
How long can you expect to carry on feeling so drained
I believe you know your happiness awaits on the other side
Nothing but joyful bliss at the end of your time on earth
Up there you can watch over your loved ones
And for each of the lovely souls you were so fond of here
You can prepare a grandiose reception when their time comes
All that while wearing your fairy godmother outfit
The one designed to showcase your beautiful angel wings
