THE BUDDHIST CARER

All my best ideas Come when I'm walking the dog Or I'm on the loo.

Working can be tough Deadlines loom yet caring calls. Just too much sometimes.

I wish for the day When I think only of me But then, he'd be gone.

Hanging on the line An adviser will answer? Taking forever.

Oh what does it mean to be loyal as a friend? You have got my back.

It doesn't end well this caring lark. But also it's never-ending.

Just walking the dog And then my phone starts ringing Oh, he's had a fall.

Hanging out washing Feeling the breeze, hearing birds Warmth sensed on my back.

Penny loves the wind It carries so much to sniff That I can't detect.

Early start today Online meeting to attend Chance to use my brain.

Checking my emails While he takes his weekly shower. For both, time well spent.
