Care Giver There's a teacher look on his/her face, That occupied, "I'm tuned in to something you don't hear" look. They are always at their love's disposal, But their love would not, could not dispose of them. But they laugh, whenever they find a clear path, and they joke, and they make love, when the season permits. That's when the care aspect diminishes, and the giving is in fuller force. And they hear only birdsong When others hear a shrill crow Crying, "Give care. Give care." And you'd be wrong to think the obvious, That he/she would of course prefer an easier, more traditional love. Who else would tell him/her that she couldn't live without him Then go on to prove that statement With daily total dependency, Which causes him/her to pour warm love over resentment, melting it? And he/she remembers that God said, "For my burden's easy" and he/she picks up his/her burden of love and never, no never, lays it down, because with love, it's easier to bear than not. by: Janet Johnston Bilateral Pallidotomy Loma Linda University Medical Center
