Hanging onto the chain of sunlight
Streaming in her room

She rocks back and forth
In the antique rocking chair

She will become tomorrow's antique
Dangling with a wisdom
That can no longer be shared.

LOve, daver Gail Debole June 1, 2015 at 2:56 PM Hi Daver - Thanks for stopping by! I am fighting the aging process the whole way. My goal (possible or not) is living to be 100 and having my mental and physical faculties (most of them anyway) in tact. Stay healthy and happy!

Jadazzle United June 21, 2014 at 4:17 PM Beautiful imagery but h so sad and something i can relate to as my mum has dementia which over times is getting worse. Hugs jan Jadazzle United June 21, 2014 at 6:12 PM I get such comfort from writing since i joined in February this year - have written about her dementia on my own Jan Allison page. Keep your brain active with your poems and hopefully it will miss us too. hugs jan xxxx Gail Debole June 21, 2014 at 4:39 PM Hello Jan - Thanks for stopping by. Sorry to hear about your mum. My grandmother lived until in her 90's, but had alzheimers so she didn't know anyone at the end. I'm hoping that it skips my generation. Maybe writing poetry will ward it off! - Gail
