A Strong Woman
As my parents aged
I was always close
these were the people
I loved the most
Now without them
to see each day
another journey
comes my way
A husband aging
that forgets my name
seems nothing here
is quiet the same
As constant care
is required each day
my mind aches
for days of play
Memories of yesterday
come calling at times
I am a strong woman
I will be just fine
