In A Nursing Home
Close To My Heart
Near My Home
Where The Deer Are Free To Roam
Twenty One Residents Died
The Stags Outside Stood Their Ground
As They Gathered Round,
As Each Soul Left
Its Earthly Home And Departed
The Toll Is Much To Bear
For Those Who Cared For And About Them
Their Loved Ones Left to Mourn Their Loss
Lessons To Be Learned
About The Cost Of These Lives That Have Been Lost
Who Cares For The Carers
Who Are Putting Their Lives On The Line
Caring For Our Vulnerable, Aged, Frail, On The Decline Loved Ones
They Did Their Best
They Stood The Test
The Ultimate Price Was Paid
As Twenty One More Were Laid To Rest
It Wasn’t Right
It Wasn’t Enough
It Just Wasn’t Good Enough
They Got Left Behind
They Were Counted Out , Not In
In The Bigger Scheme Of Things
They Have Been Promised, More Testing,Health Care Professionals,More Staff
Necessary P.PE.
I Wonder…………
