Soul palliative care
With compassion as my guide, I took the road,
To care for those in need, with a gentle load.
In 2017, a dream took flight,
To bring comfort and peace, to those in the night.

Bedridden and frail, yet precious in sight,
Underprivileged souls, with stories untold tonight.
We visited their homes, with a caring heart,
Bringing solace and hope, a brand new start.

With every step, a story unfolded,
Of struggles and strength, of lives that were molded.
We listened and learned, with empathy and care,
And offered our support, with a loving air.

Through trials and tribulations, we've shared,
A bond of trust, a friendship beyond compare.
With each small victory, our hearts sing,
A celebration of life, a joy that brings.

In the quiet moments, when the world fades away,
We hold their hands, and we pray.
For peace and comfort, for strength and might,
To face each new day, with hope and light.

This journey's not easy, but it's worth the fight,
To bring dignity and love, to those in need tonight.
With every step forward, our hearts beat as one,
In this sacred work, we've just begun.
