Working . . .
Recently, we were all so touched when our San Diego client Fred worked with one of our caregivers to compose a Valentine’s Day poem for his wife of more than 40 years.
Tina and Fred are in their 60s, but Fred is very ill. Despite his challenges, last month, with his caregiver’s help, he attended wedding of one of his two children.
We are so proud that we have caregivers who provide opportunities for the clients to feel wonderful about special relationships and events. No one who has read this poem in our offices could pass a “dry-eye” test. See if you can! Let us know what you think of this poem in the comments below.
The finished product!
TINA
If I could dream
The dream I wanted too,
I would close my eyes
And dream a dream for you.
I would give you all the world
That you are deserving of,
And to you I would give
My everlasting love.
I would see to it,
That you were never sad
And nothing in your life
Would ever happen bad
I would wish for you
All things would go your way
And you would always be happy
Each and every day
In my dream
You would stay
And be beautiful
As you are today
Life for you would be as perfect
As the blueness of the sky
And no one would ever hurt you
Or ever make you cry.
I know it’s just a dream
But if dreams could come true
I would close my eyes
And dream a dream for you.
