He washes her clothes every day
and irons them carefully
Says the smell
reminds him of...
He looks at the photograph
on the old piano -
She was quite a looker!
They let him train as a volunteer
so he could feed her.
The food is pureed
it looks awful.
She still smiles
when she hears his voice:
'I'm Daphne',
'I know you are darling.
you're my Daphne.'
'I love you.'
'I know you do sweetheart.'
They celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary
last week.
He brought her a chocolate cake,
all the kids turned up.
'Happy Anniversary
Daphne and Dave.'

What a sweet poem Alison! If only we could all end up with a man like this! (I pray I won't actually 'need' this type of care but it's such a tender time...the growing old process. Very touching. Sincerely, Mary |
