Hugged Grandma Dorothy Poem by Suzae Chevalier

Standing outside with Dorothy on a warm sunny day
she is smiling and chatting looks young for her age.
Her CNA is there, we all 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.
