My Aging Sofa
Upright with concern
sinking inward
conserving it's strength
many balanced on it's shoulders
relying on it to stand steady and strong
thousands of stories told
many slept with their hands tucked in it's ceases
leaving memories for it to keep
some laughed while others cried
in the softness of it's heartbeat
it's a mystery how it stands there
without defeat......
