The Friday Fling Pays Poetic Tribute To Caregivers!
Friday Fling #163 January 13th 2012
This week we’re paying tribute to caregivers! It’s a poetry blog party for all those who care for the needy of all ages and needs. Parents, medical personnel, anyone who provides a service to those in need!
Michelle is further challenging you to write your tribute in a new format developed by Fling regular contributor Sonnet Diva, which she calls the “Rebel Three Step” after guess who? No it’s not got anything to do with anyone’s alimentary canal. But it is elementary, my dear Flinger:
“The Rebel Three Step” invented by Sonnet Diva
Each line has eight syllables. The first three lines of each stanza ending word rhymes. Then the last line is a repeating refrain throughout all the other stanzas.
Here’s Lori’s example:
This Week the Friday Fling Makes a Giant Rebel Three Step Tribute To Caregivers!
Be sure to save time to read and comment gratitudinally on your fellow Pals’ Three Steps. Then give a care when you step out on your wonderful winter weekend!
Fickle Finger of Fate Award for January 6th
Congratulations Barbara!

Here’s an oldie from last year, not a RTS but on a similar topic
THE CARE TAKER
There is no better love
Than the care of mothers love
She care for all from baby to the needed
Hubby needs a cup of coffee
She right there wit cup in hand
The littlest scratch
To the biggest bump
Always there
To wipe the tears
Hold the hand
Clean the mess that waz made
Soothe the pain of others
Never even takin the time to say tire
The care taker first and last
Yet who takes care of mom when in need
The love she gets from is all that she ever ask

DOING WHAT MOMS DO
She was right there for each of us,
never one to make any fuss,
bandaging all our scrapes and cuts
and never too busy to care.
She soothed our feelings and our tears,
spent many nights calming our fears,
so precious to us throughout the years
and never too busy to care.
She faced each day with a cheerful smile
and always had such grace and style,
wise and wonderful all the while
and never too busy to care.
Mom was Mom and did what moms do
loving each of us through and through,
smiling through tears if she had to
and never too busy to care.
