The Home, The Care
Think on these two simple words:
One’s home, one’s care.
Think on the exquisite skills
Of bringing drinks and being there
Of wiping tears and wiping bums
And making beds and sorting pills
And waiting till the doctor comes.
Think on these two simple words:
One’s care, one’s home.
Think about the dedication
Of those who say ‘You’re not alone’
And those who go the extra mile
In our isolation nation
To lift the spirits, raise a smile.
