To the staff of Pineood Nursing Home
Life is sweet – the poet said
Wat ere your circumstances
but sadly now, within my head
is the only part that dances.
So now I need a kindly hand
to help me over the stile
and a place like Pinewoodland
to pause – and bide a while.
For the welcome that is warmest
on your cliff top by the sea
for your care – and your kindness
Thank you all from Mary and from me
Eric
