There is a difference between living and existing as beyond the physical needs are the emotional ones.....


Bringing Dignity To Those With Alzheimer Disease  

Written by Beverlee Blampied (c)


Thank you.....
To those with a happy and generous smile
Who stop to chat for a little while
To those who understand 
Their shuffling steps and shaking hand
To those who seem to know
That their eyes are vacant and their mind is slow
To those who are aware that their hearing goes astray
And their ears must strain to hear the things others say
To those who quietly look away
When they spill food on their dinner tray
To those who try never to say
"But you've told that story three times today"
To those who have learned the way
To help bring back their memories of yesterday
To those who make certain to let it be known
That they are loved, respected and not alone
To those who will help ease the difficult days
Of their life journey, in thoughtful and loving ways
