To Wipe Away Their Tears

To wipe away their tears

To help over come their fears

To be a hand to hold

To help their lives unflold

To take away that pain

Help them begin again

To show them what is true

Help make their lives anew

To be a social worker

Is to wipe away their tears

Release them of their fears

Hold their hand- let me switch gears

"To make this dream come true",

They say, "Its surely up to you"

"But the money isn't good"

"And people won't treat you like they should"

But still my heart tugs me

And my dream is still to be

A helper of the sick and poor

A friend, a teammate an open door
