The Beauty of Elderly Hands
By Kelly Roper
Although the hands of the elderly may not be
Smooth, supple, and unblemished,
They have a beauty all their own.
Each line, each spot, each scar
Has its own tale to tell.
Some are tales of tragedy, others are tales of triumph,
But they all combine to tell the unique story
Of that treasured person's life.
So the next time you're with an elder,
Gently take that person's hands within your own,
And look with wonder at a life truly lived.

Wise Elder Haiku
By Kelly Roper
Signs of wisdom won:
Silvered hair, a wrinkled brow,
And a peaceful soul.
Gather Round and Listen
By Kelly Roper
Think of all the history that's lost
When a family elder passes.
Those precious stories shared of old
Crumble into irretrievable ashes.
So take the opportunity to listen while
Your elders are still with you here.
Record their tales for future generations
So they will know and hold them dear.
Poems That Encourage Respect for Elders
Showing respect is a wonderful way to honor elders whether they're family like a grandparent, aunt or uncle, or friends, or simply people you encounter in your daily life.
Show Respect for Your Elders
By Kelly Roper
When you see an elderly person looking for a place to sit,
Get up and offer your chair so he or she can sit in it.
When you see a senior citizen trying to open a heavy door,
Hold it open yourself; don't let that senior struggle anymore.
When you see an elder anxiously trying to cross a busy road,
Help him or her across; you've no idea of the gift you've bestowed.
When you see an elderly person sitting quietly alone in a park,
Stop and strike up a conversation; your kindness will surely leave its mark.
When an elder speaks to you, try to focus and listen,
There's often wisdom in those words that you just might be missing.
Let's show our elders we respect and honor all that they've lived through.
Don't forget that if we're lucky, some day we'll be elders too.
