A 1-time private duty job accepted
My time I would have given freely free
But DPA, in panic fear, insisted
$75/hr, I set the time-table rules
My resident, his beloved charge
So, adventures we made, lost at large
To reconnect with the other one
Who now lays ridden with brain cancer tumors
Mad men on a quest, map quest
North we drove, to find HIPPA in the way
South now, the confusion game we play
Missed the given exit, home town roads
Governor Stumpy's found, the emotions unload
2 shots of tequila, lunch stories told, re-told
Time waits for no man, sun-downing agitation unfolds
Routine in chaos,
Memories lost, who knew what, I know not
Tears did flow, who is who, most were lost
Bernie's loved ones forgotten
Clinging to my direction now
5 men, each living day-by-day now
The ticking clock, time to home go
Let Bernie rest at home,
Let DPA rest , in what he now knows
Let me now clock-in, make the lost unit flow
In Bernie's name, dinner I bought the staff
My time I would have given freely free
Pay it forward, a person in need

For pet food, to the store I went
Found a couple, broken down, in need
Drove them here and there
Gave them money in their need
Repayment, I gave no heed
Just 1 request I made
Forget not the stranger,help I gave
Pay it forward,
Repay me by helping the stranger u will meet in need
Pay it forward
In these hard times, just think what we all could achieve
If 1-by-1, we all payed it forward
Strangers helping strangers
Pay it Forward
For don't we all, in a community live
Big or small, the gift of help in need
My good fortions shared
Pay it forward!
