| Please Don't Forget Our Elderly
Let's give thought to our elderly folks, Grandmothers, Grandfathers, Moms and Dads, They who have shared life's lessons with us, And whose love and support we all had. Many of them now spend long lonely days, In a world that they don't understand, Those who reside in our nursing homes, No longer in control of their plans. Separated from familiar surroundings, Their spouse has been called home by God, The love that was shared for so many years, Now lay cold and buried beneath sod. Their sons and daughters seem to have forgot, That their parent is now locked away, They sit breathing the last breaths of life, Crying to see a family member today. Oh yes.. for a while you would visit each week, And your presence would light up the room, Sounds of the grandkids voices in the air, Have now vanished completely too soon. You have laid to rest in the back of your mind, That your loved one no longer exists, You've become so wrapped up in your own little world, And feel that your presence won't be missed. You have found your own family takes all your time, Making sure they are loved and shown, But always remember that you too were a child, And had received your love and caring at home. If you feel that by visiting your Mom or Dad, Or grandparent is a waste of your time, Then please think again when you don't visit, Would you enjoy being alone and dying? If there's memories from past family relationships, That was unpleasant and caused you much pain, It's time to set aside old ruins from the past, It is you who has everything to gain. |
