If I Could…

Posted by John white on 21/3/2025, 10:24 pm

If I could write a book
You would be in it
If I could pen a song
I’d have you sing it
If I could make you smile
I’d banish all your sorrow
If wishes could be bought
I’d spend all I could borrow
If I could make you well
I’d cure you today
If we could live it all again
I’d want no other way

If I could John, I'd write poetry like you. You make it look so easy and possible but it isn't!
Regards, Audrey D.

Must bring back very emotive issues, looking after people with Alzheimers/ Dementia is a very draining experience.
