A Poem By Laura Crocker, MSW
and
Linda Crocker, Board Member
(read in the style of “The Night Before Christmas”)
Twas the holiday season
And all through the Home
Many were stirring
All were a roam.
We miss all our guests
And the holiday chatter
But we understand
Covid is a serious matter.
With temperature taken
And wearing a mask
Visitors were greeted
Through plexi glass.
The ladies were snugly
Tucked in their beds
With visions of Gio
Swirling their heads.
The masks were placed
By the walkers with care
With hopes in the morning
There’d be beautiful hair.
The nurses were finished
Pushing the drugs
And housekeeping had cleaned
All of the rugs.
The kitchen had made
A feast galore
With everyone begging
For more and more.
Trees and lights
Were a vision to see
The activity ladies
Had been busy bees.
The business office
Had come to a stop
With Santa expected
They closed up shop.
Tim had checked
On everything twice
And had made a list
Of who was naughty and nice.
Finally Mrs. Kelsey
Rose from her desk
And said to one and all
We’re the Best of the Best!
