This is a poem written on Poet’s Corner. It is deals with a sad condition which affects so many families now. Ageing relatives can grow confused and their lives shrink. But we must always remember to spend time with them, listen to them, and remember they have stories to tell of their lives. A photo, a song, a perfume, anything can turn the key on these locked stories. You will be richly rewarded for any efforts you make to find that key for your loved one.

Mary.
