Hello, Nice To Meet You

The life of older adults living with dementia, both happy and sad

My name is Miss Paula
I'm happy most of the time
As long as you cook my favorite food
And make sure I stay dry

My name is Kathy
I am wheelchair bound
My friends play games and show me
They love having me around

My name is Shelly
I love 50's music and eating sweets
But when the song is over
You'll find me in the corner, fast asleep

My name is Johnny
I missed my best friend Carl today
His daughter said, "The doctors tried"
But last night he passed away

They talk in front of us
Like we don't even hear
We may not understand every word you say
But we still cry real human tears
