Not Only the Sick
NOT ONLY THE SICK
The sick aren't limited to only
Those ones lying on the bed
Feeling uncomfortable, weak
Receiving treatment, instructions
Not only the sick
Everyone is a casualty
Carers, sympathizers, doctors
Friends far and distant ones are
The sick are well treated like newly born
Sleep inside, on the bed, well covered
But caregivers sleep outside like goats
Exposed to cold, mosquito bites and fears
Not only the sick feel the pains
Loved ones run helter-skelter
Relations always in panic, fear
Resume deeply in prayer, fasting
Stay at home too not at rest
Not sure of the sick's condition
Though waiting to see him again
To receive him healthier than ever
Physicians as well, not exempted
Hope to discharge the patient alive
Research and consult, go extra miles
Prefer smiling farewell to parting tears.
