issie Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I don't know if anyone likes poetry. I write it and sometimes - it's okay and other times it's well - different. Here's one that's different. Maybe it will have some meaning to some of you. I just wrote this the other night - you really have to think about it for it to make sense.Friends - by IssieLike a flowerMany petalsLots of friendsDifferent facesLove in heartPeace in soulEmbrace in loveSpeak in truthPure and HonestGeniune and True..................UnderstoodDownpour rainTiny dropsBlack and WhiteCold and HotLost in limbo.............. Misunderstood. Issie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyMouse Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Elegiamore, and others, you must know that many of us with chronic or even fatal disorders frequently experience isolation, loss of friends, loss of contact with family, etc. For me, I swear there were times when if it weren't for my cats, I would have really descended into depression. For those of you who are so inclined, in many places in the US, there are free public services who will make visits to the homebound--and frankly, I'd rather have a person who is paid or volunteers to visit make visits with me than have no one at all. Places I think people could look to would be their own city or county public services, churches, Meals on Wheels or other similar organizations. For those with Medicaid or eligible for medical assistance, paid home care may be provide through those groups--and may both provide help with daily living activities and meals as well as at least some regular social contact. In planning for the day when I'm unable to care for myself, these are the kinds of things I think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
