Standing outside on a warm sunny day
standing with bright old lady who is spunky with a little grey.
and also her CNA, we laughed and talked away.
Then I told them I don’t work here anymore
they were both sad, for they liked my smile
They enjoyed my company while I was there for awhile.
I helped them with the carts and also held their door.
They would miss my small chats with them they adored.
So then when it was time to say goodbye
I first gave a hug to Dorothy’s CNA
then Dorothy looked at me to say
“Can I have a hug also my dear? ”
I replied “Of course” and hugged her in her chair.
Looking again at them both I said “Goodbye”
before I turned with a tear in my eye.
