Three Words: A Caregiver Poem
By Marie Henderson

Although my battle's over
The war has just begun.
I'd like to share what I have learned
With each and every one.

I wish I knew the way
To make you understand.
The power that you hold
In the palm of just one hand.

The power of a smile
A kiss, a hug, a touch.
The power of soft spoken words
That mean so very much.

Don't give into your anger,
Frustration or your grief.
Reach inside your heart
And you will find relief.

Don't let the simple things
Become too hard to do.
I promise there is power
In those three words "I Love You."

As you enter on this journey
Let God's power guide the way.
Fill your mind with patience
And your heart with love each day.

And when you feel the anger
Rising up inside of you.
Make use of all the power
In those three words "I Love You."
