They go about their work with humour,
With kindness,
With respect,
With skill.
They go about their work with love,
With love of caring,
Caring for others.
So many situations occurring
Throughout their days
As they look after the people,
The elderly people in care,
People in their care.
I watch them when I visit,
Visit my loved one.
I talk to them
And all say they enjoy their work,
Work that I could not do.
Caring for my wife was hard,
But caring for many would be impossible,
Impossible for me,
But they do it every day.
And every time I see them
I am astounded,
Astounded at what they can do,
So I respect them,
Respect them, everyone.
My admiration for them is boundless,
And my thanks and appreciation
Is not really enough.
I can write these words,
And these words I give to you,
Give to you all.
