Caregivers’ Link Through Prayer
by Arlene Forbes Riblet
Come, let’s form a human chain
That reaches around the World
And comes back to us again
All caregivers, we, tending each other
Caregivers often feel isolated
By the all consuming time involved
In nursing and nurturing
The person they love
We must remind each other
To take a deep breath, then release stress
Take another deep breath, then release anxiety
Feel the love--we pass on one to another
As our thoughts touch, we renew
As our hearts reach out—we grow in Spirit
We will then remember—we are Living Temples
Wherein the Power dwells – reach out to that Source in prayer
Call the Power by any name you will
Ask for courage, guidance, energy and health
To do the work ahead of you
Breathe deeply, fill your being with love—then
PASS THE LOVE ALONG
Arlene Riblet asks that caregivers think of others at 10:00 p.m. each night, no matter what time zone they live in, so there will be a continuous chain of caregiver meditation around the world.
