A Poem to honour caregivers
By Lydia Drasic
November is National Family Caregiver Month - and to honour caregivers, here is a poem written during the class - Express Yourself: Writing as a tool to cope and thrive as a caregiver.
Day Ending
It’s time to put the day to bed
Calming all thoughts in my head
Sitting all cozy with that last cup of tea
This time is mine and all about me!
Hearing music softly in the background
Guitar strings such a soothing sound.
Watching the sunset colours dance on the canvas sky
Brush strokes of blue, pink and purple streak on by
Sinking into the beauty – what an incredible sight,
Light dimming, darkening – moon and stars welcoming the night.
Reflecting, breathing – slowly in and outAh-h! This is what ending my day is all about.
