A Carers Point of View
I love you so and
I want you to know
That the care I feel is deep
I won't let you be alone.
I see you struggle as you
Force on smiles through the pain
But it feels like hope's in vain!
You're stuck in the center
Of what's supposed to help.
It's doing nothing useful
Nothing to benefit your health!
It seems that sleep is a luxury
Of it deprived are you...
This is a carers point of view!
( Chorus )
I know you tell me nothing can be done
That illness takes its toll on everyone
And it's merely a process that comes with age
When abilities start to fade...
Arthritis is rife
Part of the norm in your life
Frustration will flare
With no energy there.
If I had the power
I'd take all your ills away
In a heartbeat
Right away!
( Chorus )
I know you cling to the hope
Of a better time
When the quality of health
Won't be on the decline.
Your faith and trust
In the promises made
Is how you cope with trials today.
If I could
I'd swap my youth, my health
And carry all of your
Agonies myself.
The things you really need
I cannot do for you...
This is a carers point of view.
