Sandra Haight Poet Questionku

The Final Game

The Final Game

now in these years
called senior by name
is it the final game

friends live today
next day may be gone
will they see the new dawn

obits are read
each morning these years
will today bring some tears

senior days pass
like game of roulette
is it hit or miss yet
