Hard Working Smile.(Working In A Care Home) Poem by Steve Chering

Pitter patter pitter patter
Carpet slippers slide along freshly painted hallways
A whimper a buzzer a desperate plea
Attendance in good time to aid and comfort
Wheelchairs glide along lush carpet alleyways
An extra blanket for a cold soul
Trapped in aging ailing medicated bodies
An after lunch song to cheer weary minds
A hard job
And later upon leaving
A reflected smile
Hard work aching bones
Worth it
I afford a hard working smile.😋
