Poem
When we grow old, we’re in need of care: Our friends grow sparse, with whom to share Remembrance of our younger energetic days. Life and living having changed in many ways, Deepens our need, for courteous Elder Care!. Even though some are infirm, and under duress, Living is still enjoyed, when given love and tenderness. Doubtless to some, Elders are an annoying liability, Even to thinking they’re a drag upon the community. Reliable dedicated help, is the aim of Elder Care. All too often, deserted by family and friends, Becoming despondent, an Elder life oft ends, Unbeknownst by neighbours living close by. Seemingly abandoned, depressed they die, Even though Elder Care is found close by. Aid in a variety of forms, though offered Will often be refused unless proffered As an act of kindness, from one they know. Respectful, sincere help is a trait few show, Even towards an elderly relative in need. Nothing is more detestable than greed! Evidence shows that abuse does prevail So often, it’s disguised by a duplicitous veil. Smooth tongued platitudes may sound great: Designed to deceive, they are a despicable trait All too often used to cover Elder abuse! Yet the vigilant Care Giver often spots such signs abstruse! Rhymer June 16th, 2017 .
