The Rocking Chair

In his old rocking chair the white-haired man sits rocking - rocking. Memories of his life behind his eyes are floating - the face of his departed wife and others gone before. . . Then his heart stops - along with the rocking of his chair. April 27, 2019 Contest: the 'Writing Challenge 2- April 2019- Its All About 10 -' Poetry Contest (theme #4 chosen, which is the poem's title) Sponsor: Dear Heart
