the beauty of Living in the Country
how long after we are dead will our children know?
they do not get in touch with us on a daily basis.
no one calls to check on us in the morning.
Sunday company? I laugh at the thought
we could be dead in the house for a long time
I feel a relief there is a dog door
so the dogs can escape and maybe find food
there are neighbors who might contact someone
eventually
I think we could be dead six months at least I say
my husband thinks we could be dead five years
before anyone knows
the beauty of living in the country
and not socializing
