1- My Caregiver Invincible
Mr. Caregiver
I am not boasting
But happy about you
Boasting does nothing
Especially to a tetraplegic
Look at me,
What would I do?
I would have gone long before
To the world of the unconscious
Accept it honorably,
“My Caregiver Invincible”
"You are the man"
Everything I do is accomplished by you
Why should I not call you?
“My Caregiver Invincible”
I cannot control my own bladder and bowel
I cannot turn myself in bed
I cannot cough by myself
I can neither fix myself a glass of water
Nor a plate of food
I cannot help myself when falling
I cannot push my wheelchair
I cannot even give myself a bathe
Yet you get them done for me
On a routine basis,
Keeping time
Like the astronomical clock
Day after day
Week after week
Month after month
Year after year
Putting our differences aside
When-I do not appreciate your efforts
When-I always use you
As my anger management object
When-I do not give you a break
O, “My Caregiver Invincible”
The lists of the horrible things
I have done to you are infinite
Yet the more I do horrible things to you
The more you give me a care
Better than the previous
You are truly a caregiver
A caregiver whose integrity and care
Transcends beyond the limit of any other caregiver
Your integrity and care
Lay far beyond the infinite limit
Of any other caregiver
Shame on me
“My Caregiver Invincible”
I am sorry
I have never thanked you
For all the wonders
You have done in my life
Since I became an invalid
I am sorry
I have been so selfish
“My Caregiver Invincible”
Thinking only of my own problems
