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
