A Farewell Album for My Parents demonstrates a creative approach to the aging process.
A Farewell Album for My Parents is for the rapidly growing population of fifty and sixty year olds now called on to coordinate care for their seventy and eighty+ year old parents; and for all families and human service professionals coping with the stresses of end-of-life care.
A Farewell Album for My Parents is an ideal gift for caregivers and those who need care as they grow older.
Searching for Connection
Grandpa Max, Great-Grandpa Aaron,
Sang in Shul each Shabbas day,
But their Americanized children
Gave up God for the U.S.A.
So much life I know we’ve squandered,
We’ve let a thousand precious moments slip away,
It’s true we took the spirit’s gifts for granted,
Hustling American 20th century way.
Our family was meant to be the writers,
And the singers singing the people’s song,
But compromised in concrete urban canyons,
We undersold our souls for far too long.
Our family’s been searching for connection,
Offering our words up toward the sky,
Listening for a resonance called Heaven,
Courage to sing our song before we die.
Just because it’s you it matters,
Just because it’s you,
Just because these are your feelings,
Take this chance and sing it slow.
