Best Caregiver Poems

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...

Caregiver

Caregiver,
You came into our family
As a river of hope.
Ever flowing, always there,
Providing loving care,
So we could cope.

Caregiver,
You became an uncaring taker.
With your undue influence
You spent her money
On your own selfish wants.
Under false pretenses, you dragged her along daily,
Using her vehicle for your own personal errands....

The Caregiver

“Stop baby girl”, cried my daddy
be careful lest you get yourself hurt
and more often than not foolish words I would utter
and spew forth out of my mouth in one big blurt.

As a child, I saw into the heart of this daddy caregiver
when he had...

Dear Caregiver…
You told me to stand alone
so I stood there in shoes I’ve outgrown.
You said many things
and need I not forget how you would sing
in those car rides with the windows down.
Late at night listening to the tires scale the ground.
I always knew when you...

It’s who I am and what I LOVE to do

I’ll make you smile when you’re feeling blue

And help you get well when you’ve got the flu

I'll care for you as I would my own child

I am sitting 
In my electric wheelchair
Attached to the oxygen tank
In the old age home
Thinking about sex

I think 
Therefore I still am 
And maybe 
Just maybe 
With God’s help
I’ll get lucky...

Bone-drained, there is no respite, no split second of peace.  The “sundowner”, a hyper-active toddler in a man’s vehicle, never sleeps nor sits.
When I succumb to that one precious moment of rest; I am awakened to a furnace running full blast in a freezing...

I tried so hard, but you were too fast, clicking gracefully on high heels down the 
shady block, laughing at me plodding in saddlebacks:  Can't you keep up?
I tried so hard, but you were too slow, stumbling to a wobbly halt as your walker...

Mama's here, little one.
Even when she's not.
Her arms are wrapped around you,
She loves you a lot.

Mama's always by your side,
Even when she can't talk.
When you're at your best.
And even when you're at your worst.

Kai loves you.
Mama loves you.
Nothing could be more true,
Than the words I...

She had the disease only small-town women usually get
But she got it, and she was a New Yorker.
Born and raised on three blocks.
An anomaly.

Always wanting to help someone
Asking if we needed anything
Arranging the cakes for others weddings
Never having one of her own
Babysitting other’s children
Never confessing...

Do you ever think of getting into your RV and heading west and never looking back? I ask my friend.
Her life is a series of woes, and misbegottens, have-tos, and never-wases.  Drama, at full tilt.
Every time I see her she has a flat tire,...

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...
