Many days I am worried
And am often very cynical
Of ever seeing change
It is lonely and exhausting
And I feel like nothing will change
In my life time
And then something unexpected happens
That re-inspires me
Again motivates me to keep going
The time is now it seems
As after
The two days in Geneva
At the first WHO
Ministerial Conference on dementia
I am at last
Feeling hopeful
Hopeful I will see positive change
For the 47 million
People diagnosed with dementia
Currently living in the world
With people like you, passionate and committed, we’re sure it will happen! And until the day comes, poems so beautiful like this help to live better, happier… Thank your for sharing this poem, Kate… Have a nice Sunday 😀
Thanks Beatriz… I’m glad you like my poem. And together we will create change.
Kate, we ARE going to see change. We are going to help make it happen. There is a lot to be excited about!
Indeed there is dear jan… hugs xox
Yes, I constantly have times and days where I want to give up. And just when I’m hanging by a thread, the gives me a sign that I must continue. Funny how that works… 🙂
your ‘hanging by a thread’ is a perfect analogy… my BUB is the one who often has to poke me with a hot stick to keep me going (not literally of course!!) xox
Whatever happens Kate, you can go to bed each night knowing that you tried your utmost to advocate for change. Not many people have such a positive influence in the world! (big hug)
Thanks dear friend xx
Hi Kate . I really hope there is going to be change. I must say there seems to be more mention of dementia in the UK on TV and radio than there has before. Even in the Soaps there is always somebody with dementia. Keep up with the campaign like we are doing in the UK. I must say you must be exhausted travelling all that way I don’t think I could have done that. xxx
Thanks Lesley… and yes, very tired, but worth it! xx
