~~SYLVIA~~




How fragile life is
So hard to face getting older
Your memory is fading
While your body declines
So very hard to  be 
 Dependent on others
 For the things you once
 Were able to do yourself 
You feel your dignity waning
As you near the end of 
Your earthly existence 
Count your many blessings
  In love, peace, and happiness
For your beautiful family and friends


This poem is dedicated to a woman for whom I was a Live-In Caregiver. She will always remain in my heart.
