Paula's Poems

Carers 
By Yvonne

Who actually cares for the carer?
What will happen to us when we're ill?
Who'll help and support us when others pass by?
Who will promise and then never will?

Who actually cares for the carers?
We are hopelessly bad at self-care!
Our support circle's from other carers
A safe place we can laugh, cry and share

Who actually cares for the carers?
As the Government basks in the wealth
That it's saved from us tired, unpaid carers
At the terrible cost to our health​
