My Wife, My Caregiver

By Sylvia Finegan. In honor of caregiving wives.

You are my wife,
my caregiver, my life.
You're always there,
and you always care.

You never complain
about my aches and my pains.
You know I can't work.
and I feel like a jerk.

But you say "Don't worry,"
and you're never in a hurry.
It fills me with emotion
to see your devotion.

You're love of my life,
My caregiver, my wife.

SCLERO.ORG was the world's leading nonprofit for trustworthy research, support, education and awareness for scleroderma and related illnesses from 1998 to 2021. It was a grassroots movement from the original Scleroderma from A to Z web site, which was founded by Shelley Ensz. We were a 501(c)(3) U.S.-based public charitable foundation. We closed this web site and our nonprofit agency in April 2021.
