The Helper

There was a time when no help was needed-all was well with little me-
but then comes a spell when assistance is needed, as you will see.
This was when the good old car was no longer at hand for daily use,
surely I would not have passed another test-there is a good excuse !

Shopping days were over and definitely succor was due without a doubt,
yes, with greatly advanced age - no driving, that is what this is all about.
Yet, one has to eat, see the doctor, the barber, there are things to do
no sitting still- the days come and go-that is ever so very true.

Where once it was possible to rely on oneself,now a helper is needed,
to find a good person to assist, twice in this I happily succeeded.
Two fine ladies I found to live nearby, they were of such good aid,
but nothing lasts and they both have been ailing much of late.

Thus the search begins again and I trust a good person is around,
because a pleasant helper very clearly soon has to be found.
But Leisure World is a place where truly there is a definite need-
please wish me luck that in a new search I shall soon succeed !
