Steady

The Caregiver Poet

Steady

In the quiet of our home,

Where love and duty

Intertwine

I cannot falter

Cannot roam,

For you, dear one,

Deserve me fine.

Anxiety knocks my door,

But I turn it away unseen.

Your needs are what I'm living for,

I'll be steady

So you can lean.

Busy hands

Focused mind,

Ply this task

I've been assigned,

It requires all my heart.

Each commitment and

Every art.

Though sometimes sad

I persevere,

For you, I'll always be

Right here.
