Giving Care

No other act of love can compare
To putting one’s life on hold for another
Be thankful to those who love and give care

Those who anticipate pain and who repair
The things distracted nurses didn’t bother
No other act of love can compare

Who carefully weigh the feelings they will share
And the personal pain they will smother
Be thankful to those who love and give care

To be a friend, a father, a brother
No other act of love can compare

To soothe with warm, soft strokes through hair
Like a sister, like a mother
Be thankful to those who love and give care

The person who could be anywhere
But here, and chose to share
No other act of love can compare
Be thankful to those who love and give care
