I'm in the "In" group now
Sandwiched between
Both sets of eighty plus
Parents
Instability, LifeAlerts
Nurses, insurance
ER, ICU, PT, ALF
The new vocabulary words
Of accidents, aging
And unhappiness
We see
The mind giving up
On memory
Good judgment
While we stand

The mind giving up

While we stand
Helpless
To stop the process
We watch with
The Fates as
The thread stretches
Straining to hear
The snap
I'm in the "In" group
Except I really want
Out

Oh -- love this, Sara, and I am so there with you. It's so difficult watching parents age. Growing old is not for wussies. Think of you often and send good thoughts your way. You've captured this perfectly. <3
