I Am In Your Care

I am in your care

I was a young lady, and respected too
I cared for my beautiful skin
I wore nice dresses and moved my hips, from side to side.. 
I sprinkled perfume over my fancy dresses
My hair pressed, curled, straighten, in anyway I liked!
I was once your age and I looked great too!
Today, I am in your care

I am smelling, and I know, I  see your disgust
My hair,  a mess and I know that’s a lot
My teeth, if any,  brown and twisted 
My skin is dry, no lotion, and I am exposed 
I can’t do those things, I once did for myself  
You tell your friends, what you see, of me
But, I am in your care

My family, smell good and lotion their skins 
They're well dressed and look great
They smile and show those white, beautiful teeth
They are  respected, because they can speak
Who is there, to care of me, or touch me?
But, I am in your care

I am in your care, so please treat me right
I am dying , as the days go by
I am ready to see, my Master 
Please, take me Lord, I pray
I am hurting, to see how I am, and their despise
My dignity, my pride, my self respect, I can’t protect  
Your touch, your smile, your face, maybe the last
Do you care, who I am? 
But, I am in your care

Myles, A good question, My mother was being cared for in some hospital. Never will we know how she died. I argued with the nurses because everything was strange that day. Anyways, I'm moved by your poem. You have a wonderful setting and message. Love LINDA

I see this as in the picture of a patient who is lying on the bed in worst scenario where s/he relies on the care of nurses and other medical practitioners,the pleas in the last stanza is an ultimate cap for the stanza.. =`)~Olive Eloisa =`)
