SUCCESS

A ‘slightly’ distorted view of the meaning of SUCCESS:
At age 3 success is . . . not peeing in your pants.
At age 12 success is . . . having friends.
At age 18 success is . . . having a drivers license.
At age 35 success is . . . having money.
At age 50 success is . . . having money.
At age 70 success is . . . having a drivers license.
At age 75 success is . . . having friends.
At age 90 success is . . . not peeing in your pants.

See Me

Affection (charity) to our seniors

This poem was written by an old woman

living in a nursing home in Ireland.

It was found among her things when she died.

What do you see nurses, what do you see?

Are you thinking when you look at me?

A crabbit old woman, not very wise,

Uncertain of habit, with far away eyes,

Who dribbles her food and makes no reply

When you say in a loud voice- "I do wish you'd try."

And forever is losing a sock or a shoe.

Who unresisting or not, lets you do as you will,

With bathing and feeding, the long day to fill.

Is that what you think, is that what you see?

Open your eyes, nurse, you're not looking at me. (...)
