Do notmistake my compassion for weakness
Don’t be fooled, by my smiles andsweetness
For those of us, who work within the charity field
With rules and regulations, that constrains and will not yield
It will be easyto say hey, I’m trying , at least
In a world that is a contrast of famine and feast
I can hold my held up high
No I can’t and here is why
While I have to turn away vulnerable people, genuinely in times of trouble
Send them away to struggle
As a system is in place, that can only help for a limited time
Turn them away, I must, the choice is not mine
Speak up for the voiceless, has always been my motto
We live in the real world, not Santa’s grotto
I will steal a line from my favourite song
Is knowing your weakness, what made you strong
The day I stop thinking it’s not fair
I will retire and sit in my warm comfy chair
Do not mistake my compassion for weakness
Wearing my heart on my sleeve, means I’m a dreamer, not dreamless
