A green graphic with white writing. Storyteller The story—always funny Stutters in its telling As a word, a single word Flits from his head Gone—away in a whirl He looks at me then My Dad—always funny Eyes of mischief, now Searching my very own I take a guess, a gamble Yes—that’s it! He points At me in appreciation The story—still funny Scoots off his tongue I watch, I laugh, I learn But mostly I listen For I carry his vocabulary As well as my own Ellen Forkin.
It’s #DementiaAwarenessWeek in Scotland and I’ve written a poem for my wonderful Dad. He amazes me how he uses humour to get through even the toughest of times, how he keeps on with his music, gardening, art, how caring and loving he is and always has been. Love you, Dad 💚 #Poem #PoetryCommunity
