Best Caregivingblue Poems


Mindfulness

Somewhere, a Blue Flax cluster blooms.
  Their beauty lasts but for a day
Then die in the sun unobserved.

  Someplace, an old man lies dying
Alone in the dark with no one
  To comfort and pray at his side.

Oftentimes I amble in fields
  Searching for this blue wildflower;
And like Meriwether Lewis

  I on occasion find the plant;
When I do, I quickly bundle
  A large bouquet and head for home.

This time they are for my neighbor:
  A man of eighty in poor health.
“Morning neighbor, have you a vase?”

Be There

Are you confused,just like I am
Yes, I am confused,very.
Because life's been toying me into complicated figures
Has been absorbing oxygen and it's getting darker.
Haven't you seen my blue body?
or my blue nails?
No, then quit asking me what's wrong?
Because, I'm frustrated
Angry and disappointed.
Why it can't be last year all over again?
I'm finding a hard time to get used to this 
to the space growing larger between you and I.
I find you already living it.
I'm not mad at you.
I'm mad at life.
Changing our lives 
I got caught up to the old ones we had,
I miss and I am missing you
And Lately, I can't reach you
I can't talk to you
I hate this,baby.
Forgive me, If I'm strange.
I wish you understand when I can't explain.
I wish you listen when I can't talk.
Just be there,Because I am already there.
