divorced from cooperative spirit,
required to out-perform my siblings
and...

In the eight hives that fell...

Where black use to be.

I'm afraid of

Placidly stood an old sewing machine;
The golden emblem surrounded with chrome,

Here I stand- 
in front of a forsaken farmhouse;
Reminiscing how it used to be
a once warm abode
Goats and chickens cheered in unison
When grandmom yelled for munchies
While lost at play grandchildren-
filled the now deserted haven;

On the one side, aging parents,
Fighting Alzheimer’s and such;
Yes, it’s sad, it’s hard and yet,
So many suffer in its clutch.

It’s both joyful and amazing
Being granddad and...
