Caregiver's Road

Beneath a heavy weight I labored, misunderstood by those I love and serve, illness raging, family demanding, expending soul and physical reserve. Like a thin smoke quickly dissipating, spirit tenuous, weak upon the road, on the precipice of breakdown trembling feeling endurance and harmony erode. Along a peaceful stretch of sand walking, listening to pounding surf, the birds, tasting the invigorating sea air, hearing in my heart God's voice, His words, inviting nature in to permeate my being, soothing the aching pain . . . spirit at rest, on God's glory feeding, I can go home, begin my work again.
