Blessed are the caregivers
who have learned to laugh, for it is their only chance for sanity.

Blessed are those caregivers
who accept the disabilities of their charges,
letting each person develop at their own speed.

Blessed are the caregivers
who can redirect negative behavior, without anger.

Blessed are the caregivers
who involve their charges in the world around them,
for it develops the whole person.

Blessed are the caregivers
who are teachable, for understanding brings love.

Blessed are the caregivers
who love their task, for love is the greatest gift they give.

Blessed are the caregivers,
for all the blessings they bestow upon their world.
