The person who rocked with the woman still showed they cared by just being there and sharing in something the old woman was doing. It was a simple act of kindness; but sometimes that's all that is needed.

Saying how even though they can't speak or show emotions it was felt within. If I had that poem I would post it here. I have looked and never found it. WHat a difference some little act will make. ANd you guys just keep encouraging it. :) Thanx for the reminders. :)
