Cecilia Macfarlane Poet Acrostic

Blind

B eauty in seniors she can not help but see

L ove to the eldery she gives quite easily

I nspired by their life stories shared freely

N aturally drawn to their notable company

D ignity first and foremost is the key

Andrea Dietrich January 20, 2020 at 2:17 PM very well done, Cecilia. A little note, we are not to put our name on the poem to show who we are underneath the poem. it's wonderful how you care for the elderly and it is just the opposite of your name's meaning!!

Silent One January 19, 2020 at 1:56 PM Yes I agree...clever poem and great choice for the contest..
