THE BEATITUDES OF THE ELDERLY
Blessed are they who understand my faltering step and withering hand
Blessed are they who know that my ears today must strain to catch the things they say
Blessed are they who seem to know that my eyes are dim and my wits are slow
Blessed are they who looked away when coffee spilled at my table today
Blessed are they with a cheery smile who stop to chat for a little while
Blessed are they who never say "You've told that story twice today"
Blessed are they that know the ways to bring back memories of yesterdays
Blessed are they who make it known that I am loved, respected and not alone
Blessed are they that ease my days in so many wonderful loving ways
Blessed are they who know I'm at a loss to find the strength to carry the Cross
Blessed are they who ease the days on my journey home in loving ways
Blessed are they who pray for me, my Loving Lord some day to see
I am eternally optimistic. Your spirit is immensely powerful and resilient. So keep faith in your dreams and visions.
