Look closer,
see me!
THIS poem was found in the hospital beside locker of an old lady
after her death. It was rescued by Mrs. T. Cowan of Highgate Hill,
who does geriatric nursing.—The poem speaks for itself.
What do you see nurses, what do you see?
Are you thinking when you are looking at me—
A crabbit old woman, not very wise,
Uncertain of habit, with far -away eyes;
Who dribbles her 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 stocking or shoe.
Who, unresisting or not, lets you do as you will
4'ith 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 are not looking at me.
I'll tell you who I am as I sit here so still,
As I use 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 girl of sixteen with wings on her feet
Dreaming that soon now a lover she'll meet,
A bride 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 build a secure, happy home.
A woman of thirty, my young now grown fast,
Bound to each other with ties that should last.
At forty, my young sons, now grown, will be gone,
But my man stays beside me to sec 1 don't mourn.
At fifty, once more babies play round my knee,
Again we know children, my loved one and me.
Dark day are upon me, my husband is dead.
1 look to the /uture, I shudder with dread,
For my young are all busy raising young of their own,
And I think of the years and the love that I've known.
I'm an old woman now and nature is cruel,
'Tis her jest to make old age look like a fool,
The body it crumbles, grace and vigor depart,
There is now a stone where I once had a heart.
But inside this old carcacs a young girl still dwells,
And now and again my battered heart swells.
I remember the joy, 1 remember (he pain,
And I'm loving and lining lift all over again.
And I think of the years all too few—gone too fast
And accept the stark fact that nothing will last.
So open your eyes nurses, open and see
Not a crabbit old woman, look closer—see me.,
