I'Ll Envision For You: Diary of a Caregiver
I’ll envision for you
The end of unsightly things
So you see only the
Beauty memories bring.
I’ll strengthen the love in your heart
So as the light fades
There’s no fear of the dark.
With every breath you take
Faith, trust and hope will
Strengthen the bonds we create.
Being a caregiver is a labor of love
Whose reassurance comes
When we seek guidance from above.
Knowing this task comes with a price
We accept it and take on
A personal sacrifice.
Aside from life’s other to do’s
There’s no provisions
We won’t make for you.
Continued patience is rest assured
Fathomable only in walked steps
And with faith, endured.
For the long haul it’s just me and you
Facing each day
That comes anew.
So until our last days are to arrive
We’ll sit back and watch
Each sun set and rise,
No longer seeing unsightly things
But forever holding
The beauty memories bring.
