Rules
of Growing Old
This
is a poem I wrote while in the
Nursing field for 27 years. I
worked with the
elderly and I saw the attitude some people
had about helping the elderly
If
I am blind and cannot see,
Just lead me along and take care of me.
If I am deaf and just can't hear,
Be patient with me to show that you care.
If I am forgetful and don't remember your name,
Just love me alot and treat me the same.
If
I can't walk or eat alone,
Just help me a little and try not to groan.
Please try to assist me all that you can,
And be glad that you can help your fellow man.
Be sure to follow the Golden Rule true,
And do unto me as if I were you.
