Help The Aged Poem by Donna Saphier

The little old lady lived all alone
No-one to talk to and no-one to phone
She's cold and she's shaking
Her fire's on low
She's all wrapped up
In an old worn out throw
Holes in her slippers
Her toes peeping through
Meals on wheels
A small bowl of stew
Mail on the floor
But she's to cold to move
A cut on her knee
That need's to be soothed
Where are her family
Where are her friends
Please someone help her
It's on us she depends
We can't leave her lonely
We can't leave her blue
There must be someone
Who knows what to do
This poor old lady
Just stuck in her chair
She's giving up slowly
But she's not aware
So check on your elders
Make sure they're alright
Make sure that they
Are wrapped up at night
look after your elders
They are people too
Their lives depend
On the things people do
It could be you're mother
Or somebody's gran
C'mon let's do this
We know that we can.
