Most of our seniors are lonely

They’re craving connection

Affection

Or just plain interaction.

They live in these buildings

With people they don’t know

And we call it their home

But home is not just somewhere that you go

It’s the feeling of being safe and warm

It’s the people you call family

That urke and encourage you just the same

These homes we put the elders in

They’re lacking the human element.

So concerned with sanitation

But missing the key of sanity

Health is not hard to maintain

When the focus is on good relationships.
