Nursey Nursey can you help me?an old lady's pleading cry. I think i have had an accident, my bed's no longer dry, I must have had too much to drink, before i fell asleep. I wonder did i sleep so sound cos of the pills that help me sleep, Nursey can you help me, i find it hard to see, Can you help me with my lunch and hold my cup of tea. I am ashamed to let them know, that life is getting hard, nursey would you help me, would you pleaseread to me this card. Nursey would you tell them, that i just cant go on, I want to be free of pain, i dont want to linger on. I love my family dearly but they have no time for me, I am old, incontinent, and immobile plus i cannot see. nursey will you hold my hand, i dont want to be alone. Pleasesit with me for a while, just this once ignore that phone, i want to feel you near me, you have kind and loving ways, i know it wont be much longer before the end of my days. Mrs.......i am with you and i am sitting by your side, I can understand your worries and the pain you try to hide, I will not be in a hurry, i will give youthe time you need, i will try to make you comfortable and your lunch to you i will feed, Mrs......... when the time is near and your life is at its end, i will sit by you, i will hold your hand, my heart to you i'll lend But for now just talk with me, tell me of your life and of your woes, i will listen to you in confidence, until i have to go, Mrs ....... you see i have to go my children wait for me, when i return in the morning, to you i will come and see, i will help to make you feel clean, i will brush your greying hair, i will clean your teeth and wipe your nose, you see i really care.

Harmony,this is beautiful.I agree with Arthur.It bespeaks of what so many deny or are too afraid to acknowledge.It seems to me that you have first-hand knowledge of this account.Are you a nurse? If not,you certainly are a sensitive and talented writer. Thank you for sharing this,though it brought tears to my eyes. Peace to you,Geoffrey |

It take a very special and kind person to perform these sad duties for the aged, ill and lonely. Thank you for your compassionate poem. Joyce |

dear Harmony, very pretty and thoughtful. i always try to be respectful and kind towards the elderly, not only because i see so many young people who aren't, but because i can never know what these people have seen and done in their lifetimes. it's often amazing and inspiring just to talk with them and to hear their stories.
