Twenty-Two Prayer Poems for Care Givers
A guiding light through life’s dark times, written by Donna Iona Drozda while serving as a hospice volunteer.
Vision
As I go forward into this new day
Surround me with the energy and light of love.
Remind me throughout the day that at any moment
And in any place
I can begin again and give all my concerns to you.
Wherever I go and whoever I see
Or think of, let me radiate to that one
A wave of light and love and abundance
So that they too feel the radiance of Your support
And so that together we form the threads that weave
A fabric of contentment and care for all those that
Come into contact with us.Thank You in advance. Amen
Rosalynn Carter’s testimony before Congress reminds us:
There are only four kinds of people in the world:
- Those who have been caregivers
- Those who currently are caregivers
- Those who will be caregivers
- And those who will need caregivers
Since publishing the original volume of Twenty-Two Prayer Poems for Care Givers, I’ve learned a great deal more about the necessity of being Care Givers of the Self.
The Prayer/Poems have grown and blossomed over time. More and more they point, like arrows, to the daily choice and opportunity to learn to take wise and good care of what Tibetan Buddhists call this “precious human life”.
It requires tremendous courage to care… to either give or to receive care; may you be courageous and…
Fare Thee Well… in all ways, for always,
Donna Iona Drozda, Virginia Beach
“An inspired book bound to help the heart of all caregivers.”
“Both as a care giver and one deeply in need, I found each prayer and its accompanying art work resonating with comfort and joy.”
“Donna your work is so powerful and emotive, it stirs something deep inside me! What a beautiful gift for all the care-givers of the world.”
“Brimming with inspiration from cover-to-cover… A beautiful read, and one that can be returned to time and again.”
“I love your book. I’ll use it myself and have it on hand for other caregivers… love your use of the Course!”
