Kath

KATH The years have gone by, Your older so am I, You have a blank expression upon your face, Sitting in your chair. The things you tend to do, It's more than just old age, We reminisce about the past Remembering days gone by, Ask about two days ago and your lost. Talking the other day you looked at me and said, "I will forget you to" ..... then looked away so sad, It's getting harder to cope each day, I'm scared to leave you alone. I look at care homes on the internet, Till I'm sure I've found the one, That day you went I will never forget, You said " when am I coming home" I looked away and cried, Within a month or so you forgot your home, I wish it was just old age. Dedicated to my friends mum

So sad when parents can no longer care for themselves. It breaks your heart. I felt this in your poem Tracy.
