Rolling Along - written by Heather Cameron - October 13, 2014

Rolling an organized pile of weight
over so they can be relieved
by baby powder and cooling cream
so the sufferer can feel that life is but a dream

Boulders with limbs, yet still filled with a soul and life.
Striving along as they fall apart piece by piece
Holding fast to whatever they can to survive.
A workout for those who will be left behind.

Mental and physical tolls taken on the loved ones.
Yet, the opportunity to serve is so equally present.
Blessings will come for any sacrifices brought forth.
For every gift of care, the time to be cared for will come.

Though bodies crumble and minds become tired.
The spirit yearns to be free of the burden
of a crumbling rental unit that is meant to slow down.
Perfection and peace will someday come to all.

Do not be afraid to show compassion and love.
Death is not a failure, only an end to much pain.
Such time will come when the trial will be over.
Even in the aftermath, there is much that will be gained.
Though in the now, such hope may seem in vain.
