Morning Thoughts Of A Caregiver
Lord, grant me peace within this day,
make each thought be undefiled.
Let your light only illuminate my way,
so when stress comes I won’t be riled.
Sometimes I forget that I’m not alone,
then I see your hand reaching out to me.
As today’s issues make themselves known,
I’ll instantaneously think of thee.

The Worst Caregiver in the World
I watched my sister fading away.
She did as she was told
Day after miserable day.
Do this, don't do that,
It's bad for you, good for you,
Mustn't get fat.
Could Nurse Ratched not see
The harm that she caused?
The pain she inflicted
Gave me pause.
Play by the rules,
Sound advice for some fools,
But not for this one.
I make my own

Confessions to My Architect
My spirit is forlorn, frightened,
and impaired.
You’re not hiding here in this hideous hell;
no longer your eyes, are broken in a cataract cell,
instead, you graze in the free fields,
feeding on the flock’s frivolous phrases,
now part of a buoyant herd,
while I wallow in the ocean's pitiful past,
gliding in my hurricane of pain.
You wander merrily

Mother Said
Mother said, "In the depths of your plight,"
"Face the storms, even when you’re not right,"
Though life’s breadth may stretch wide and tight,
Hold onto dreams, let them shine bright.
She spoke of a world with borscht and more,
Of paths where the warmth is hard to restore,
Face the false and the depths you deplore,
Keep your heart steady, as

THE LORD IS MY CAREGIVER
The Lord is my Caregiver indeed
I shall not be anxious of my health’s need
He makes me to relax, from pressures to be freed
He leads me toward serenity with His comforting deed.
He restores my soul against guilt’s pain
He guides me in the paths of faith exercise-terrain
Toward practice of sharing and goodness-gain
For His name’s honour without strain.
Yes,

THE CAREGIVER
The caregiver of mentally challenge
Family or friend, needs to try and
Protect their own mental health first
Because if you don’t, who will
Caring for a mentally challenge person
Is not easy at all, there are many challenges
In some cases, mental health facilities
Make things worse on caregivers
Everybody has rights, and that includes
A caregiver, they have the right to
Protect themselves,

Loving Care
Caregiving is not for the weak
Giving care trying not to be bleak
Medicine changes, pill bottles around
Changing of diapers without even a frown
Pain and regret
As they forget
Memory lapses and confusion
Sometime life is an illusion
Sometimes the routine causes stress
All you want is some rest
Many doctors to see
Thank God for the nurses helping me
Hope for the best
Pray for

The Caregiver
The Caregiver
You come every day.
I pay you to do that.
Or if I do not,
someone does,
that takes care of
that kind of thing now.
I hated it at first.
You, intruding on me, and my life.
The way you showed up, on time,
took care of needs...
and then cleaned...
my whole home.
Even

Larger Than Life
It's not fair it's not right,
All year caring for others,
Full of life and laughter,
A laugh that was so contagious,
We all had to laugh with you,
She loved a LARGE mug of tea,
She said things as she saw them
A fighter not someone to give in,
Illness didnt win with you,
A front liner you where a carer,
When you

I'Ll Envision For You: Diary of a Caregiver
I’ll envision for you
The end of unsightly things
So you see only the
Beauty memories bring.
I’ll strengthen the love in your heart
So as the light fades
There’s no fear of the dark.
With every breath you take
Faith, trust and hope will
Strengthen the bonds we create.
Being a caregiver is a labor of love
Whose reassurance comes
When we seek guidance from above.
Knowing

A Caregiver-
Nana looks after the children
Nana takes care of the children
She's caregiver
A hero protects those people
From those villains
Their a caregiver
A doctor mending his patients
Co curing their illness
Their a caregiver
A fireman putting out blazes
Climbing up down ladders
He's a caregiver
A policeman with gun
And other means protects the citizens

The Caregiver
What do you want to be, little boy?
I want to be caring and giving
No, no, no: WHAT do you want to be?
You know, like a pilot or something
I already told you: caring and giving...
Yes, all of us have to make a living
But
