As time allows, we will be sharing our stories about visiting our new friends.
Here's a wonderful poem that a Redding Care Center caregiver gave to me today............and I believe it says it all !
~ My Job ~
My job is a very important job.
It's important to me; and it's important to you.
You see, I work in a nursing center.
It's not easy or glamorous; it's hard and thankless.
But it's important, very important.
I take care of people who need me.
They really need me.
There are so many things to do.
I try to make every minute count.
The little things I do make a big difference.
A touch, a smile, a friendly hello, a drink of water.
My job is a very important job.
It's important to me; it's important to you.
You see, I work in a nursing center.
I take care of some very sick people.
My work makes the difference to them.
I'm not perfect; I make mistakes.
But I want you to know I do my best.
I take pride in my work, my facility, in myself.
You see, I take care of some very important people~
Your husband, your wife, your mother, your father.
Now you know why my job is an important job.
