I am a caregiver,
It is my duty to deliver,
To you the best of tender love and care,
May I help you in your time of need and despair.
You each have an amazing story to tell and share,
I wish I could hear them all and learn from your wisdom of life’s scares.
The battles you each have faced, the challenges you have overcome with grace,
You live to tell your own unique adventure through life,
I admire that your still alive with dignity and pride,
You made it through a long windy road of successes and falls,
I know your body aches but I am here to help you stand tall.
It cant be easy when your organs start to quit,
I hope you can find solace in your chair as you knit,
Reminiscing on your memories and the good times you had
Having a job where I can pay it forward truly makes me glad
Whenever you start to feel sad, I hope you feel grateful for what you did have
The many different careers you each had the opportunity to hold,
The families you created as you watched evolution unfold.
All the tears and laughter, that you can call your own,
Your things will disappear with you but the thought of you helps us to not feel alone.
I will do my best to be a quality caregiver as we prepare you for your next life,
You are only stronger and wiser with your battle scars that resemble strife.
