A poem shared... prompted by a vivid memory

'My day at a centre for the elderly' by Jeanne Lothian - with the author's permission to use

A lovely poem has reached us by a circuitous route and it is a pleasure to share it with you. Anna Chaplain for the Bangor and Holyhead Methodist Circuit, Jan Isbell, tells us how it was written by Jeanne Lothian in 1995 when she volunteered at a local care home. Jeanne, who lives in Devon, is a close friend of Jan Brightman, an Anna Friend from Llanfairfechan.

Jan tells us how Jeanne is now in her late 70s and says how much she can now relate to the words written back then. She has given permission for Anna Chaplaincy to use it. The words will strike a chord with many, we are sure.
