Rage With Age

My legs are weak I can not speak My eyes are glazed my soul is waste My hair is gone it was so blond I feel the cold it's in my bones My mind is lost I do not trust My child won't show for this I know My rage is strong it's been to long Please let me go so I may sow In death I'm free this I plea 2/27/205 T Reams 7th Place

Oh for grief of aging. We know not what the future holds for you, me, many bodies. Tammy, you have penned a poem that is matter-of-fact sad; yet your creation wake us up to the beautiful. Will you say more about your 'Mother's Day' contest? Namaste!

Thank you for your comment. What is sad is the many elderly who's family or love ones never go to visit even if they are in pain. We all need comfort. Again Thank you.

Again thank you! I'm not so young. In a few years I will hit the big 60. I'm 57 I just don't age real fast. I'm afraid I'll wake up one morning and my age will hit at one time overnight to make up for lost time. Again thank you.

Thank you Jan. I wrote this for the child who has an ill parent. At times the parent wants to go but the child can not let go due to the loss. Again thank you.

Powerful emotions are not blatantly flaunted within these words but are secreted just under the surface of intent and coat all thoughts and actions with a personal emptiness that seeps into your heart and threatens to break it with its weight. Emile. #7
