ADD TO MY FAVORITES
often a husband may take flight
leaving the wife behind
or dissolve the marriage
But the reverse is true
of the wife
who will care and nurse him to health
What a genuine caregiver
She presses on
and endures
until the spouse recovers
or passes away
only then will such a commitment
be considered over
What a truly difficult task
Constantly she has to sacrifice
needs, happiness, dreams, hobbies
for somebody’s sake
To be released
from her obligations
will be out of character
Being a caregiver I have learned
to walk by faith not by sight
to rest assured in Christ
who will neither leave
nor abandon me
for I am too precious
in His sight
Didn’t He purchase me through His sacrificial love
death and resurrection
Who can separate me from such great love
not problems, not poverty,
not illnesses, terminal or chronic
not powers or principalities
not even tests and trials
Never will he release me
to flounder in my folly
or stewing in my own juice
His grip is much stronger
than my grip of His hand
just like a father and a child
crossing a super busy road
May I fix my eyes on Him
and persevere
towards the goal
of His higher calling
May I lay hold of Him
who has already laid hold of me
these words of Paul I echo
You have promised to give me strength
and grace
even in my weakest moments
Give me new eyes to see
and fresh spirit
to discern my call as a caregiver
by divine appointment
Caregiver of my body, mind and soul
You have called me into a journey
of demonstrating Your love and care
to the person I am caring
or others around me
Teach me to love others with Your heart
serve them with Your hands, I pray
