The heart of a caregiver is a rare element on earth They define the true meaning and value of God’s worth. The soul of a caregiver is precious and pure Their spirits are heavenly, of that I am sure The selfless compassion and love that they share Provides relief, joy, and comfort just knowing they’re there Their efforts often unnoticed, full of strength and emotion Bring peace to the heavens with angelic devotion Many nights they are restless, their minds filled with unease because they devote their lives to tend to others’ needs There is none more deserving than one with the caregiver ability They show peace, love, and mercy and give our loved ones dignity

Caregiver, a special place in heaven is waiting for you.....
