The Cancer Caregiver’s Pledge
Here is a poem for cancer caregivers, who sacrifice their time with compassion and devotion to do everything they can to help an individual with cancer.
I pledge my unwavering devotion to your well-being.
I will strive hard to keep you stress-free.
I will try to convert chaos to calm on your worst days.
I will help you find strength of purpose on your best days.
I pledge patience as you express deep-seated fears.
I will serve as your confidante and companion.
I will hold your hand
Listen to your heart
And be fully present for you.
I pledge to cultivate your contentment
Joy
And peace of mind.
In all of this, I pray for your good health
And pledge my undying love for you
Now
And always
