Our life is on hold

And has been for some time…

His time is filled with

Silent phone calls daily

Just watching his mom

Deteriorate in place…

He wants so much more for

Her…I understand but at 96

Her body is spent…

Our bodies and minds are

Being spent worrying about

Her…

What a way to age!!

My parens left long ago and

The feelings are all spiritual now..

What they think or would do

Have little help in my life and

Mind as their days are gone

Over 50 years and the

Gap of time feels like the

Cavernous area of the grand

Canyon…that I can’t really

Understand or feel…

Life is for the living I know

Understand and see…

Aging stops the living, begins

The grieving of having to be

Satisfied with the life one has

Led…
