Compassion

Caregivers

He always knew there would be no life for himself
Caring for his father, the sons’ dreams are shelved

No dances, no dates, no staying out late
No chance of sharing meals with a date

Sacrifice means giving something up for another
Someone special like a father or a mother

He would never marry or pass on his name
Burdens sometimes come with no fame

Was it worth it to give your whole life
For the love of another, easing his strife

A clean conscience comes with caring and giving
So another can have a life worth living

Some are doctors, some nurses, or a friend
Desperate patients hoping for pains end

You never know where sacrifices come from
It took love and devotion to aid his loved one

Perhaps we might need the same help someday
Hopefully, someone steps up and compassion displays
