💙 When an old man died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home in an Australian country town, it was believed that he had nothing left of any value.😞 Later, when the nurses were going through his meager possessions, They found this poem. Its quality and content so impressed the staff that copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital. 💙 One nurse took her copy to Melbourne. The old man's sole bequest to posterity has since appeared in the Christmas editions of magazines around the country and appearing in mags for Mental Health. A slide presentation has also been made based on his simple, but eloquent, poem. 💙 And this old man, with nothing left to give to the world, is now the author of this 'anonymous' poem winging across the Internet. 💙 quote: Cranky Old ManWhat do you see nurses? . . .. . .What do you see? What are you thinking .. . when you're looking at me? A cranky old man, . . . . . .not very wise, Uncertain of habit .. . . . . . . .. with faraway eyes? Who dribbles his food .. . ... . . and makes no reply. When you say in a loud voice . .'I do wish you'd try!' Who seems not to notice . . .the things that you do. And forever is losing . . . . . .. . . A sock or shoe? Who, resisting or not . . . ... lets you do as you will, With bathing and feeding . . . .The long day to fill? Is that what you're thinking?. .Is that what you see? Then open your eyes, nurse .you're not looking at me. I'll tell you who I am . . . . .. As I sit here so still, As I do at your bidding, .. . . . as I eat at your will. I'm a small child of Ten . .with a father and mother, Brothers and sisters .. . . .. . who love one another A young boy of Sixteen . . . .. with wings on his feet Dreaming that soon now . . .. . . a lover he'll meet. A groom soon at Twenty . . . ..my heart gives a leap. Remembering, the vows .. .. .that I promised to keep. At Twenty-Five, now . . . . .I have young of my own. Who need me to guide . . . And a secure happy home. A man of Thirty . .. . . . . My young now grown fast, Bound to each other . . .. With ties that should last. At Forty, my young sons .. .have grown and are gone, But my woman is beside me . . to see I don't mourn. At Fifty, once more, .. ...Babies play 'round my knee, Again, we know children . . . . My loved one and me. Dark days are upon me . . . . My wife is now dead. I look at the future ... . . . . I shudder with dread. For my young are all rearing .. . . young of their own. And I think of the years . . . And the love that I've known. I'm now an old man . . . . . . .. and nature is cruel. It's jest to make old age . . . . . . . look like a fool. The body, it crumbles .. .. . grace and vigour, depart. There is now a stone . . . where I once had a heart. But inside this old carcass . A young man still dwells, And now and again . . . . . my battered heart swells I remember the joys . . . . .. . I remember the pain. And I'm loving and living . . . . . . . life over again. I think of the years, all too few . . .. gone too fast. And accept the stark fact . . . that nothing can last. So open your eyes, people .. . . . .. . . open and see. Not a cranky old man . Look closer . . . . see .. .. . .. .... . ME!! ![](http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/heart2.gif)
💙 ************************************** Remember this poem when you next meet an older person who you might brush aside without looking at the young soul within. We will all, one day, be there, too! 💙 PLEASE SHARE THIS POEM! The best and most beautiful things of this world can't be seen or touched. They must be felt by the heart! 💙 ------------------ Edit to add💙 I feel much as the cranky old man. Without a serious miracle my time is running out.😞 Please be kind to old folks💙 I can say that because I am an old cranky person too. Not everyone is lucky enough to agree gracefully. To often the pain agony and despair drag us screaming then limping to an existence that Is just a waiting for the clock to run out. I hope reincarnation is real. One of my old signature lines bespeaks of such a reality.💕😎 ~I remember, therefore I am immortal ~Lexxigramer Value your health your lives and be kind to Suffering folks who are on a way that is not always their own doing. Life and death are the same coin of being human.

Yeah I feel like the cranky old man😢 People do not like communicating with gravely ill folks especially when it may be terminal😢👽 Being so disabled since 1989 and now fighting for my life because of multiple very rare cancers, I feel like I am becoming invisible👽😢👽 The support groups are all a joke with all the wah wah boo hoos whining people who are going to survive and or have already. It is creepy but I swear people in such groups actually become jealous of people sicker than they are👽😢 They treat it all as a contest to show off and complain how bad they are and all and ignore those who genuinely are worse off then most of them🤬👽 And the damn t=shirts and tattoos broadcasting to all how they are warriors and and weirdly creepily act as if they are proud of having cancers and such👽👽👽 If I were to cover my body with tattoos of all that I afflicted with, I would be totally covered in tattoos😳👽 Well anyhow it is a very lonely path to be on😢 And it is often near beyond hard to not give up😢 Been planning suicide if this all cannot be cured.☠️💀👻 Have not found a vampire to help solve my problem yet😎 ![](http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/looking.gif) I refuse to die in a hospital or away from home if I can prevent that nightmare. If the time comes I want to be preferably outside and not trapped inside anywhere💙 I wish our state had legal euthenasia 💙 Wish me good luck that the chemo and radiation and more surgeries will be able to save my life💙💖😎 Scared lost in agony often exhausted weak and more bad things😢👽 Losing about a pound a day and cannot stop it👽 It is very bad to be this way😢🤮 ------------------Take a look at my LexIgramming/LexAgramming Biography Nearly 2/3 of a century to date of ♥ LexAgramming Lexperience!🔠✍️ IP: Logged |

Yeah, I'm getting over covid, and hoping I won't end up in the hospital anyway. I've just read about a man who caught it two weeks ago, and just had his foot amputated.I'm sick, too. I'm hoping my dad won't get it. I am freaked out over things in my life, and it's just likely going to get worse. So good luck to all of us. IP: Logged |

Sorry you are sick💙😢We caught Covid in January 2020 before it became news👽 Caught it from the biitch excuse for a doctor who refused to be my PCP any longer when her gross negect led to my having multiple rare cancers that she said I did not need checked for and that all was okay👽🤬 She just guessed and never examined me not took me seriously 🤬 and laughed as usual and said I was fat and needed to lose weight so losing about 100 pounds without trying in a very short time and 3 years of daily vomiting caused her even more reasons to laugh and say shiite like well don't eat so much🤬👽🤬 So because of her neglect and medical blunders like her giving me drugs that ruptured my archilles tendons and torn parts of them and so we once to then I cannot walk hardly at all🤬😢 And other crap, I am kind of in medical limbos here👽🤬😢 COVID😳😢🤬👽 It was horrible to say the least😢 102 to 103 fevers with heavy sweating and chills.👽😢 The hospitals refused treatment unless one. actually could not breathe😳🤬👽 We made sure to get vaccinated since then 4 shots for both me and my husband. With us both fighting medically for our lives vaccinations are things we dare not neglect getting. A common cold could kill when folks are severely immunocompromised as we both are😳😢 Good thing too that we are each 4X vaccinated now because our anti-vaccers neighbors who trespass have aLl been infected.🤬😳 Some very bad some just plaguing everyone else🤬👽 So within like 10 to 75 feet f rom our bedroom window for example are at least lately, 25 people who do not care who they infect🤬👽 We can hear them coughing and HHabe seen them they spit loogies into your yard even right under our windows😢 Well one of them does. Nasty hag who has also stolen at least 3 of our Walmart grocery deliveries🤬 Our Christmas feast one🤬 and oddly out anneversary feast one🤬 and then my husband's birthday feast🤬 As to the main crap going on in my nightmarish life👽👽👽 I get different diagnosises and outcome projections from the gynocological oncologists👽👽🤬 So the guesses are my odds of surviving are not very high👽😢🤬 Projections range from 6 months to 2 years with weekly chemo plus extra toxic added every 3 weeks. Then like 6 months radiation if I survive the chemo. Then extremely dangerous pelvic and adominal just to below the lungs surgeries. Yep gutted 👽😢 I do not know whether I should keep trying or not👽😢 Scared and lost and angry about the DES given to mothers like mine that causes the horrible cancers I now have.🤬😢 I am going to keep trying until I win or if it looks like I am not winning then I shall continue considering the best and legal way of planning out my suicide 💙 or go to a state that has legal euthenasia maybe💙 Weird part is the first jerk doctor, a world famous one supposedly, pretty much said I would be dead before June this year's👽👽👽 ________________________________ Apologies for the griping rant💙 I am not in a good place of late👽😢 Anyhow getting vaccinated is the only protection even if you avoid people. I hope you 💙recover soon💙 and that no one else gets infected from those who have it💙😢 Pardon any typos or weird autofills 💙 ------------------

Still feeling like the cranky old man😭👽💙 However I am still continuing to keep on fighting and to survive these 5 rare cancers and live for many more years😎❤️ Yes I am still disabled and suffer from dozens of mostly rare syndromes and more but I have not given up yet😎 The hardest part is how people often ignore gravely ill folks and even get upset or downright angry at them for many reasons all of which is not the ill person's fault👽😭🤬 We who suffers terrible disabling and often agonizing conditions 😭 are still alive and simply ask that folks treat us with respect and try to put themselves in our shoes and think about how would they want to be treated by well folks💙💙💙Rant over 💙

By the way Note Try and st a moment and listen to us tell our stories of our lives take a moment and ask questions we are not trying to bore you and if you do take the time to get to know us as people who were once not seriously ill and or dying you could find real gems in our words and our tellings of our life experiences💙😎 When I was younger like she 14, I have friends as old as 102 years old💙😎 And at ages 4 to 9 would go visit the Summer neighbors in our little wooded retreat for retired scientists and other fascinating folks many not from America😳😎 I would listen for hours to them and try to help them do things😎❤️ I learned so very much from those wonderful folks😎❤️Please pardon any typos or strange autofills 👽
