"It means I am smart and clean and don't have to wear my own clothes. It's easily washable, fits my shape and lasts for years without shrinking or stretching."
My Uniform
by NHS Activity and Engagement Coordinator (Also training as an Occupational Therapist)
My day begins with paint and clay
and things become much harder
with glue and tape and sweat and dough
the look becomes much harder.
With soil and eggs
with blood and chalk
the work it has disorder
I change at home and wash my clothes
and soon things are much brighter.
It fits my shape and lasts for years
and says I am a worker
I’m training now in bottle green
white polo and shoes much smarter
I love my work and what I do
and wear clothes that are the order
I make my way to start my day
with uniform from the dryer
I know its right and looks the part
and fills my heart with sparkle
Those clothes I wear with people
I care and know they’re from Alexandra
