Private Sitter

A friend in need Is a friend indeed. Working together we succeed. Unable to use arms and feet or voice, he can complete An email or ask for more of peach tea or more from me. He is a friend. We get along. His body's weak. His mind is strong. His good humor strengthens me. I am blessed, undoubtedly!
