The Helper Cannot Help

THE HELPER CANNOT HELP The helper cannot help- The caregiver is not wanted- I sit and wait For the person I am to help To speak to me again And again agree to go to walk- Life is difficult This man once had a mind As good as yours or mine And now he can only speak gibberish. Ashamed of and afraid for himself His honor lost to others doing things for him He rebels And his once kind nature Becomes stubbornness and anger- Oh Mercy on him And Mercy on us all Poor human beings Who so often are suddenly afflicted With impossible pains and frustrations We cannot deal with Or ever be healed from again.
