I will
Sit by your bed side
Holding your hand after an attempted suicide.
I will
Make sure your Grandma is comfortable
When she’s dying.
I will,
Keep your Father safe from bed sores,
While he comes out of coma.
I will,
Tell you the truth about your rights,
Give you power.
I will,
Wash your Sisters body,
After the life support has failed.
I will,
Get your Brother fed, up and moving,
After surgery.
I will,
Give you the best shower ever,
Without getting water down your trach.
I will,
Teach you how to feed yourself,
After a brain injury.
I will,
Remind you that life has its purpose,
No matter what.
I will,
Rock your sick Children,
While you rest.
I will,
Talk to you like a person,
Sometimes with tough love.
I will,
Share my own strength with you,
When you are withdrawing.
I will,
Keep you safe under my wing,
Best I can.
I will,
Care for you and yours with my heart,
It’s what I do.
