Image result for pictures of walking canes being used by two older people

The two walking canes lay close by
Next to the window seat
Waiting their turn to go outside
And maybe a stranger meet

Especially his walking cane
Loved to mingle and touch
Her walking cane lay close silent
His cane with strangers gushed

So different those two curved canes
Their length designed for each
The stain of hers, red
And his a plain pale beech

No longer walks upon soft sand
Nor strolling in the park
Mostly confined to sit down fun
Church meetings singing like a lark

Laurie, We as poets can write about anything can't we. Much of everyday experience is topics for writing and there will always be someone who understands the topic. Thanks for your uplifting comments. Sara
