A Caregiver's Handbook for Advanced-Stage Huntington Disease

by Shirley Procell

Dear Father in Heaven,
Please help me today
To find courage and strength
And to watch what I say.

Make me gentle and kind
And have a big heart
Give me endurance, fortitude;
Let me be clinically smart.

Let the ones I care for
Know of my love.
Help them today
From Heaven above.
Amen.

P.S.

And oh, please, God,
Just one more request;
One little thing
That you can do best.
Grant us a cure
For this awful disease.
I'm asking for some
That can't drop to their knees;
But they are your children
Suffering their pain.
Asking all this
In God's name.
