T H E H E L P E R

When you, after a good, long life, advance in years- there is a need
for someone to be of help,to be of assistance, yes indeed !
The good old car idles in the garage-you need a shopper by your side,
if you can find someone close by to help-you shall be alright.

Thus I am blessed to have a good neighbor who is my true aide,
a fine lady called GAIL takes care of me ,that is so great !
All I have to do is draw up a list of vittles to keep me fed,
there has never been a day when I went hungry, you can bet.

To the doctor she takes me,the barbershop is on her list,
in a fine red car I am taken, no appointment is ever missed.
My hearing is lousy, the telephone is hard to understand,
I have to rely on my computer-for a needed call, she is on hand.

To get along by yourself is not easy: on good people you must rely,
this so nice lady is the reason that so easily I can get by.
Most grateful am I to spend my old days without much worry-
my kids being far away,there is no reason to often feel sorry !
