I have a special friend
Her name is Audrey Byers
She is such a pleasure to know.
She would make you smile.
She has gone to “Skyline Estates”
Yes, it’s senior care.
Assisted living, with a trained and caring staff
You will find it there.
You can have your own room
Or maybe share one too.
Don’t worry about your meals and medications
They will take care of you.
Soon they will be opening
A secured memory care.
So if you don’t remember
They will remember there.
Now, if you’re into social
They have activities for you.
Everyday you may dine with others.
May I introduce
Nadine and Barbara to you?
They have a common area
Where you can chat about.
But if you’re not into talking
You can shut your door
And just hang out.
This really isn’t about dying.
But, in the end
How will you dwell?
With their kind and caring staff
You will have a quality of life.
And they will treat you well.
