I take care of the ones in need
Get very close
Too close sometimes
Show them what its like to be loved
To be cared about
How special they are
Then it seems like I am not needed any more
That my work is done
But I do not want it that way
I grow to love them
Too deeply
They are finally able to love others
Show them they care
Let them know how special they are
Time goes by
They can say it to others
I wonder
Why not me???
I do not understand
I am not doing it for money
Nor a career
I do it from my heart
I am not asking for acknowledgement all the time
But if they can say it to others
Why not me???
