Blessed in Aging

Blessed are they who understand
m
y 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.
