LORNA

Analytical and hardworking
And practical is she
Born under the star of virgo
Modest and quiet she be
Loves to sing the charismatic
Church songs with such glee
A quiet and persuasive attitude
And a goodly memory

Scrabble she is filled with words
Synonyms and alliteration
A native of the Philippines
Who has found salvation
Helping people near and far
Healing nursing caring
Loving people sick and old
Her wondrous heart is sharing

A pony tail a glitter on her ear
The softest glow
An aura of bright diadems
Whereever she does go
Cuts her own hair and we see
Its beautiful an art
Balances the books
And does it from her heart

A dedicated carer prepared to give her all
To work the shifts both day and night
To, just be on call
Have to pay car parking charges
And, quite a low wage
And just give of her very self
Her quality off the page

This government in England
Is totally unaware
Of all the working angels
Who come here and just share
All their amazing talents
And their heartfelt care
For a measly salary
And that is so unfair
