My Shoulder

My Shoulder

My shoulders
Hold the care of someone else
No warning

Heavy weight
Responsibilities grow
Caregiving

Tasks for two
Now are mine to meddle through
Keep Control

Remember
All appointments and the meds
Important

I can feel
The stress upon my shoulders
It grows now

No easy task
I strain to make the effort
Rewarding

Not easy either
Daily challenges await
Days go by

My love too
Struggles with both walk and talk
Stroke attack

Together
We face all the days ahead
Not I alone

Changed views now
Our tired eyes do see the world
Moving On

Rearranged
And with it much confusion
Sort it out

Love is strong
Any other seems so wrong
Find a way

Yesterday
The days with fun and flare
Are dreams now

My shoulders
Grow strong with all they carry
Tomorrow

Look forward
Work now toward better days
Promising
