It’s still month of the elderly And today is world mental health day And cancer awareness and teacher month Elders have contributed to everything
And is in some way get from and give value to everything,
So bring them to the events once it’s safe
Old people get lonely, and start forgetting their membership is community is validated by participation
They get depressed, just like young people
Dementia is a mental health and aging issues
The mind of the elders matter!
Don’t leave dem out and home when we celebrating Once it’s safe …
Dress dem up and bring dem Church
Church provides much needed mental and social engagement
Church is a safe place for the elderly.
Every Sunday is merriment meaning making and for making memories
On the Bus going home is an activity all by it self
Conversations there inspire active membership
Church is purposeful for the elders
It’s the one day of the week they get to dress up for sure and have a place to go and people to see
Di howdy Hello and Ivy yuh looking young man
Boost up deh self confidence
They want to physically engage their churches because it helps their minds and spirits
It’s weekend outing also

The month of the elderly requires care
