The power of care: poem by Bradly McCallum

We often have the privilege of sharing the diverse art of our recipients across our footprint.

While they are therapeutic and reflective, there are some that express gratitude for the service provided by our dedicated workforce.

selectability recipient Bradly McCallum’s poetry is no exception.

After providing support to Bradly and his carer John during a time of crisis.

Bradly put pen to paper, paying tribute to what he says is the “greatest service.”

 

The power of care – Bradly McCallum

 

A tribute to care in the stillness of the night, warmth begins to shine,

Compassion wraps around us, your heart entwined with mine.

In the dance of healing, our spirits start to rise,

In this space of kindness, hope reflects in our eyes.

 

Thank you for your presence, for your unwavering light,

Together we find strength, in the shadows and the bright.

 

Stories of your courage, echoes of love we share,

As we walk this journey, hand in hand we care,

Gently holding close, the dreams that lift us high,

Facing all our battles, together we will try.

 

In the dawn of understanding, we’ll conquer every fear,

With our hearts united, we will persevere.

 

Where will we stand when the storm clouds roll on?

In the grace of your comfort or in the morning’s dawn?

Let us celebrate the lives you've touched so true,

Paying tribute to the bond, with gratitude for you.

 

With every tender moment, wounded hearts begin to heal,

In this sacred circle, the strength we will reveal.

 

Fleeting moments of solace, like the sunrise ahead,

Resilient and hopeful, with love that’s widespread.

 

Threads of care are woven in our lives each day,

Acts of gentle kindness lighting up the way.

 

Questions may arise as we seek paths anew,

In the heart of compassion, we’ll always find you.

 

Where will you be when the difficult days pass?

In the heartbeat of our journey, your legacy will last.

 

Outstretched hands of hope, in unity we stand,

With a grateful heart, we honour this band.

 

Let this appreciation echo forevermore,

In the rhythm of your care, we open every door.

With every act of love, in unity we share,

A heartfelt tribute to you, for the power of care.
