Poem Title:
Poem
Retirement, helping with physically challenged Thinking it through or just ignore it. Chance provides an opportunity Such a sad place, lack of unity Challenges waited patiently. Physical challenged Adults, needing understanding Relaxed environment, hearts are aching. Adults challenged with daily life Left on their own, sadness was their companion What is their challenge? Elderly living environment, has done its damage How will they manage? Such harsh words are spoken Handicapped description, quite broken. Communication has its problems Knowing when to show emotion Personalities begging for release Busy, so busy doing their piece, Another interest surfaces occasionally. Horticulture such a long word Delighted when shown this World, Watching plants grow, a newfound interest Hours spent talking of them Frequent visits to show botanical gardens. Watch their actions, always smiling They have found the meaning of Spring Interacting with other people Shocked at first, time given freely All good things come to an end. Why? a question with too many answers Moved away to supposed happier surroundings Will miss them all and their questions Task before her, will never challenge No goodbye hugs, just a wave. Too much emotion for some to handle Stayed in their rooms, sobbing quietly Would do it all again, challenge will be answered Thinking of her life’s retirement plans Thoughts clouding her answers Difficulty linking life’s jigsaw puzzle pieces Sitting at a desk, shuffling paper Staring through windows at all that surrounds her A silent prayer, a broken voice Please provide with an answer.
