Aging is not…

A great time to be alive

Especially watching

Someone 20 years older

Aging in a way that

I know she would have

Never wanted…

Watching my brother

Age with dementia

And my sister with extreme

Loneliness is not for me…

she went to bed

The only one I knew happy

To the end was my grandma

And when the alarm

Rang she didn’t wake…

What a peaceful and joyfull

End to a beautiful person…

This world is scaring me

Watching my husband worrying

Over the money we have

And will never use..:

Watching people in the world

Hurting others’ loved ones…

Watching war…

Having children and grandchilren

I can no longer shelter and keep

Safe…

Its not a road I care

To travel much longer.,.

My nightly prayer

Is for God to call my number

Soon…

So redemption can

Be mine in the end……….
