My Psw Promise

MY PSW PROMISE
When you first arrived -
Your health was then fading
Your whole world was changing
I promised that I’d see you through.
When you first arrived
Your kids sold your house
You just lost your spouse
I promised that I’d see you through.
When you first arrived
You could barely still walk
You didn't want to talk
I promised that I’d see you through.
Now you’ve been here awhile
I haven’t found your smile
But I am not lying
When I say I’ll keep trying
I promised that I’d see you through
Now you’ve been here awhile
You know ME by my smile
You still talk about dying
I ask you to keep trying
I promised that I’d see you through
Now you’ve been here a bit longer
Look at you getting stronger!
You don’t trust all our staff
But I got you to laugh!
I promised that I’d see you through
You’ve been here a bit longer
In me you’ve grown fonder
You came out to do crafts!
Now we ALWAYS share laughs
I promised that I’d see you through
For it is now Christmas
I ask you your wishes
You say “ Well dear there’s just one!”
You smiled so loud, I smiled so loud
Before your speech had begun
You say “dear when we part”
“Please don't lose your heart”
“For your Heart is what’s seen me through!
I say “Don’t talk about dying!”
This time you weren’t lying
I said well what shall I do?
Your body was aching
My heart was breaking
I promised that I’d see you through
You said “oh my sweet love”
“For I’ll be just above”
You indeed were my friend now too
You squeezed my hand one more time
During our final goodbye
After you died, I sat down and cried
But one thing I knew was true
That oh my sweet love
Now my angel above
You Promised you see me through too

Beata Agustin June 4, 2024 at 12:07 AM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Mystic Rose Rose October 16, 2021 at 3:04 PM Dearest Lindsay, you are such a gift to the world, I am sure she is your angel, and much more from above she is your guiding light. Keep spreading your love, you are like a candle in the dark to many of them, God bless you :)

Kim Rodrigues September 30, 2021 at 6:44 PM A fave for me! I think about the times I’d go to the Senior home to read the bible. I will always love those faces. I know one day I will meet many of them (hopefully all) in heaven…in their vigor, in their youth…we will remember and hug…even and especially those in memory care. I sit now with my Dad to see him through (mom passed in April) He’s still at home.
