Guest guest Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 A CAREGIVER'S HEART What's inside of a caregiver's heart? Just for a moment, let's pick it apart. I want to find out what makes it tick. Why does one take care of the sick? Here's the scalpel, let's take a look, for this we'll need no anatomy book. What's this I see? A stain I fear, from many a tear over many a year. This scar here is a fracture line, One we hid when we said we're fine. That deep mark there, it shows the pain, From being accused of looking for gain. There! Look there! See all that sorrow? It's for the loved one who's lost tomorrow. How can it function, how can it cope? Surely by now it should lose all hope. What is this gel that makes it so strong? Battered and bruised, it still goes on. What keeps this heart from falling apart? Love binds together A Caregiver's Heart. © 1999, Jerry Ham Quote
