Poem I received from a family who I had the honour of looking after their loved one

A lovely poem titled "The Undertaker"

This is for the undertaker,
Whose story is sad to tell,
For what they do is never mentioned,
and often overlooked as well.
They are not at all what you might picture,
not wrinkled, old and grey.
Their face is not the pasty white,
Like storybooks portray.

Some people laugh and make their jokes,
And some turn up their nose,
And many think that they are strange,
For the life that they have chose.

But there are many things
that people don’t see,
And even more that they don’t know.
Like all the nights they get no rest,
But never lets it show.

I have seen them work both day and night,
With no time to eat or sleep.
To care for those in mourning,
And comfort those who weep.

The load they carry on their shoulders,
Is more than you or I could bear.
But they always seem to find the time,
To show you that they care.

So when you see the undertaker,
Make sure you see the person
That does the job that no one wants
And that no one understands.

Take the time to shake their hand,
And a moment to just say “HI”
I think you’ll find the undertaker,
Is just an ordinary guy or girl ❤️
