Be Patient with Yourself

A Poem for Millennial Caregivers

By Jessica ColangeloPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

Be patient with yourself!

When you feel unloved and under appreciated,

Be patient with yourself.

When you know that you know what you know and no one else believes,

Be patient with yourself!

When you’re tired of being sick and tired,

Be patient with yourself!

When the sunsets on an unfulfilled day,

Be patient with yourself!

When you lay down and put your head on

your pillow and tears stream down your face,

Be patient with yourself!

Be patient,

Be patient,

Be patient

and just

Be.
