(A tribute to senior living workers from ChatGPT)
In gentle hands, the years unfold,
Stories whispered, memories told,
With each new dawn, a life’s embrace,
In the care of those with patience and grace.
Through every wrinkle, wisdom gleams,
In eyes that sparkle, in quiet dreams,
A lifetime’s journey, etched in time,
They are the keepers of life’s sublime.
To those who walk this path of care,
With tender heart and love to share,
You are the light in moments gray,
The warmth that brightens up their day.
Though time may weather body and bone,
Their spirit’s strength remains well-known,
And in your kindness, they find the will,
To face the dawn, with courage still.
In every smile you help to bring,
In laughter shared, in songs they sing,
You are the pillars of their world,
Where life’s sweet chapters are gently unfurled.
Remember, your work is more than a chore,
It’s a calling, a purpose, and so much more,
In every touch, in every deed,
You plant a seed of love, indeed.
So let your heart be full of cheer,
For in your care, they know no fear,
You are the guardians of their days,
Guiding them gently through life’s maze.
For every elder, a story to tell,
Of hopes and dreams that in them dwell,
You are the ones who make them shine,
In your embrace, they feel divine.
So take this task with love and pride,
As you walk by their side,
For in your heart, the world will see,
The beauty of humanity.
