When You Are Caring For A Loved One. Poem by David Boyce

When you are caring for a loved one.

When you are caring for a loved one
But there is no longer any hope
You wonder when it is going to end
And how you are going to cope

When the person leaves this earthly life
You will have that inner strength to go on
You will feel upset at the time
But glad their pain has now gone

Hold on to all the hope you both had
Ask your god to help their soul
Your caring will continue after life is extinct
And you will both meet your goal

If you need the help to carry on yourself
Once your loved one has left your side
There are people to assist you through
So don't go home and hide
