Caregiver's Angel

Do you know someone who is a primary caregiver?

Oftentimes, concerns are so concentrated on the person who is ill, that the caregiver is swallowed up in his or her role. If enough time passes without some boundaries, the caregiver can wind up feeling like a non-person, with no life of their own.

Today’s post is dedicated to my friend who is living his days making sure that his wife has the best of care. He may not often be told “Thank You” but I just want to remind him that the man upstairs knows of the sacrifices that he’s making everyday.

CAREGIVER'S ANGEL

It takes a special person

With a selfless soul

To take care of the sick

And fulfill the role

Of being a caregiver

Day in and day out

To give of themselves

Without hesitation or doubt

Please know you have an angel

Who stays by your side

Who hopes you'll remember

You are God's joy and his pride.

SHAMELESS PLUG:
The above poem, when given with an angel, can
be just what the doctor ordered for the caregiver.
A cloth poetry angel hanging in their room will
remind them they are appreciated.
