    Default My tribute to an elderly lady....forgotten

    [Recently I officiated at this lady's service, there was just the funeral director, and two cemetery workers and myself, I wrote this poem for the lady we had just laid to rest.........

    A Lady Forgotten

    She was just an old lady, in an old folk’s home
    Nobody came to visit, nobody bothered to phone
    She was cared to by the staff, who looked after her needs
    That’s what they do, their work is in their deeds

    Nobody came to visit, nobody bothered to phone
    At one time she was a Mother, and had a beautiful home
    Her husband passed away, the kids grew up and left, and moved to other places
    She became forgetful, she couldn’t remember faces.

    She needed to be cared for, she couldn’t look after herself
    She felt like an old book, forgotten, and put on a shelve
    This dear old lady, had a heart of pure gold
    Her only problem in life, was that she grew old

    It saddens me to hear this, she passed away all alone
    Nobody asked about her, nobody bothered to phone
    I spoke at her funeral, prayed for her to be at rest
    She just wasn’t an old lady, to me she was one of the best.][/B]
