Blessed Are They: A Poem for Caregivers

To all of the Caregivers who share their endless love, kindness, and compassion so freely, I have chosen this poem to let you know you are seen and your efforts are comendable. We, as a community, are here to honor you and offer our support on your journey. Thank you.

Blessed Are They: Anonymous Author

Blessed are they who understand

My faltering step and shaking hand.

Blessed are they who know my ears today

Must strain to hear the things they say.

Blessed are they who seem to know

My eyes are dim and my answers slow.

Blessed are they who look away

When my tea was spilled at the table today.

Blessed are they who with a cheery smile

Will stop to chat for a little while.

Blessed are they who never say

"You've told that story twice today."

Blessed are they who know my ways

And bring back memories of yesterdays.

Blessed are they who ease the days

And care for me in loving ways.

Blessed are they who make it known

I'm loved, respected, and not alone.
