We’ll Get Mansions In Heaven

BY JESS RONNE /JESSPLUSTHEMESS

We’ll get mansions in Heaven one day So they say…

To us weary caregivers As we humbly bow and pray.

And we cuss And we moan And we weep And we groan

Our souls Laid bare Before His holy throne.

Our tears born of pain And also of love A life not imagined But planned from above.

Or so it seems As we drown in the deep Fighting for services Supplies and for sleep!

And we wipe and we bathe And help in all the ways Our children who need us For the rest of their days.

We’ll get mansions in Heaven one day So they say…

But I say-

I don’t need a mansion

Neither here nor there But I do need much more Than just a simple prayer

A meal would be nice Or maybe a break For my caregiving duties Are a lot, goodness sake.

If you see a caregiver

Please offer your time For blessing their heart Just adds to this rhyme.

Caregivers need help! We need to be seen And more than just words Or thoughts that demean

We’ll all need care

At one time or another So let’s elevate the status Of every father and mother.

Caregivers are the backbone Of each society We must keep their light bright For you, me,and we.

Just keep livin.
