A carers wish

The carers voice (carers week )

By Sharon TidayPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

A carer cries at night but no one hears their plight .

They wish someone would lend a hand or at least try to understand .

They do it all for unconditional love very rewarding but still extremely tough .

They say they do it all for benefits they don’t have a clue the ones who judge couldn’t last a night let alone a lifetime through .

Is it really too much to ask for more to feel respected and not ignored .

To receive a wage for all they do because if it was classed as a job they get a hourly rate too .

They save the country a fortune to receive a empty thanks .

It will not put food on the table or pay the bills but the Government believe carers can survive on good will .
