Long-distance Care
She blows kisses from her wheelchair in the care home garden surrounded by flowers and smiling faces Does she know I care? It’s cupcake day with jolly ladies in the care home I watch her swallow and swallow with her Does she know I care? She sings along at the singalong with Vera Lynn Look - she knows all the words but not who I am I hope she knows I care I see the tired caring faces of those who give her what I cannot And send them treats from Betty’s of York Because I care.
