As a part-time caretaker for the elderly I can totally relate to this poem. Years and years ago when there were no nursing or homes for the elderly it wasn't even thought about.

Very sad what the world has come to. This is a truly lovely poem.

Touching poem about the realities many old aged people have to face as elders unable to do much for themselves. The poem is evocative and written with strong emotion. Again the narrative quality with which you write is seamless and second to none. Absorbing and enticing. Very good poem.
