About this scrapbook page:
This poem was written by an old lady who died in a geriatric ward of an hospital in England. She appeared to have left nothing of value. A nurse packing up her possessions found this poem. The quality so impressed the staff that copies were made and distributed to all the staff.I love this poem and I thank you for taking the time to read it. We will all be elderly one day and I hope we are all treated with decency and care by those looking after us.

Poem by this wonderful lady called Phyllis McCormack.

Fantastic poem!! I wish to add: When the old lady sits and recall her memories with closed eyes, the nurse may disturb her with a : "No time for sleeping, you should participate in activities." Why do we collect memories if we are not allowed to remember them:-)???? Great poem, Claudine. I will have a sign up at the aged home, next to my chair. 'Do not disturb. Reminiscing'
