We’ll get mansions
in Heaven
one day
So they say…
To us weary caregivers
As we humbly
bow
and pray.
And we cuss
And we moan
And we weep
And we groan
Our souls
Laid bare
Before
His holy throne.
Our tears born of pain
And also of love
A life not imagined
But planned from above.
Or so it seems
As we drown in the deep
Fighting for services
Supplies and for sleep!
And we wipe and we bathe
And help in all the ways
Our children who need us
For the rest of their days.
We’ll get mansions
in Heaven
one day
So they say…
But I say-
I don’t need a mansion
Neither here nor there
But I do need much more
Than just a simple prayer
A meal would be nice
Or maybe a break
For my caregiving duties
Are a lot, goodness sake.
If you see a caregiver
Please offer your time
For blessing their heart
Just adds to this rhyme.
Caregivers need help!
We need to be seen
And more than just words
Or thoughts that demean
We’ll all need care
At one time or another
So let’s elevate the status
Of every father and mother.
Caregivers are the backbone
Of each society
We must keep their light bright
For you, me,and we.
Just keep livin.
