In Loving Memory! Poem by Tracey TEE

In Loving Memory!

Rating: 5.0


I've sat here now for 20 minutes and still no one comes
I will have 'In loving memory' imprinted on my Bum!

I hear you chatter while you sip your lovely cup of tea
I guess that you've forgetton all about me

sitting here on a cold china pan
while you share notes about your latest man

For goodness sake I've finished my wee
is it too much to ask that you finish your tea.

Finally you show your face
with a sorry disgrace

'Well I should think so too ' I say quite loud
'For goodness sake girl your heads in the clouds'

20 minutes I have sat here waiting for you to come
' I will have in Loving Memory imprinted on my Bum '



Poets Notes
Again this relates to my Nursing home days
and shamefully this actually happened.But Not my doing Honestly LOL

Another sad commentary of elder abuse. I've witnessed a similar circumstance involving my late mother-in-law....where she was absentmindedly 'lost' on the premises...for a very long time. Unannounced visits are paramount I think!

A sad fact of life, but you held out a hand of kindness :)
