Nursing Home Syndrome

Used upshot ~ no just quiet ring as Grandma sits upon her swing content, but how, you want to sing can quiet rest so willingly! Her eyes seem set ~ yet seeing more it must be from some elsewhere store no name for it ~ I've never seen this humming silence ~ all upbring! A few things in her blighted way just keep it simple ~ she might stray to find herself another day just Grama's room ~ no others play! "Semper Fidelis" is our goal, while Grama's just another soul I must keep courage, country's role the young, my strength, my certained skoal! My house, my car, my holding's grow my kids, my yard, my food enow ~ my fun in living for the show, my lust's inebriating's toll! Bring Grama home ~ she's all you've left the years between, her roads still cleft when she did hone your seed in debt ~ Bring Grama home . . . her grace is kept!

It really hurt me, when my mom went to a nushing home, she was there from 1993 until 1997 when she died, sometimes we have no choice, i am dreading the day that may happen to me. You wrote a most heart warming and tender piece of poetry.
