Here is osmething for those of you who take care of Mom. I'm sure someone has posted this before but I can't remember who did, or how to find it.Blessed In Aging Blessed are they who understandMy faltering step and shaking handBlessed, who know my ears todayMust strain to hear the things they say. Blessed are those who seem to knowMy eyes are dim and my mind is slowBlessed are those who look awayWhen I spilled tea that weary day. Blessed are they who, with cheery smileStopped to chat for a little whileBlessed are they who know the wayTo bring back memories of yesterday. Blessed are those who never say"You've told that story twice today"Blessed are they who make it knownThat I am loved, respected and not alone. And blessed are they who will ease the daysOf my journey home, in loving ways. ~Esther Mary Walker

Blessed In Aging
Blessed are they who understand
My faltering step and shaking hand
Blessed, who know my ears today
Must strain to hear the things they say.
Blessed are those who seem to know
My eyes are dim and my mind is slow
Blessed are those who look away
When I spilled tea that weary day.
Blessed are they who, with cheery smile
Stopped to chat for a little while
Blessed are they who know the way
To bring back memories of yesterday.
Blessed are those who never say
"You've told that story twice today"
Blessed are they who make it known
That I am loved, respected and not alone.
And blessed are they who will ease the days
Of my journey home, in loving ways.
