Cut Flowers

Cut Flowers
					
The scent of cut flowers arose,
Then cool water tickled her toes,
She turned with a start,
To the flower cart,
And reconnected the drainage hose.

Aging Grace

UNSUPPORTED CODE Aging Grace UNSUPPORTED CODE 

 UNSUPPORTED CODE As we grow older, our parents arrive first. UNSUPPORTED CODE 

 UNSUPPORTED CODE We pray for the best and plan for the worst. UNSUPPORTED CODE 

 UNSUPPORTED CODE Old photos, young faces we barely recognize, UNSUPPORTED CODE 

 UNSUPPORTED CODE save something familiar in their smiles and their eyes. UNSUPPORTED CODE 

 UNSUPPORTED CODE The pillars of strength we worshiped when small, UNSUPPORTED CODE 

 UNSUPPORTED CODE grow fragile and forgetful under sweaters and shawls. UNSUPPORTED CODE 

 UNSUPPORTED CODE We cling to their dignity more than they do themselves, UNSUPPORTED CODE 

 UNSUPPORTED CODE as their passage to heaven brushes too close to hell. UNSUPPORTED CODE 

 UNSUPPORTED CODE We’d gladly carry that burden, if only we could. UNSUPPORTED CODE 

 UNSUPPORTED CODE They say only “I love you, my life has been good.” UNSUPPORTED CODE
