To my Mother’s new caregivers:

There is a life inside
A child, a bride
Successes and failures
Humility and pride
Look Deeper

There is a life inside
Experiencing a new day
Full of shadows and sunlight
Walls lining their way
Try Harder

There is a life inside
Fear sharing with joy
A journey together
Made difficult to enjoy
Be Kinder

There is a life inside
Beginning meets end
A mother, a daughter
A wife and a friend
Show Respect

There is a life inside
Remember today
A smile or a touch
Some kindness to display
Give Love
