Winter and decline

You're now in your winter
days growing short
whizzing by
at a rate of knots

Fighting each day
some of them good
more of them bad
a little boost sometime

I wander about
look at places
we used to go
where you won't go again

Your world has now shrunk
to just four familiar walls
of many years
your homely abode

Not much left of you now
Not much left for you now
Those you have missed
over many hard years

Will be waiting
to welcome you home
under the stars
by the endless sea

  1. Just lovely Guido....but now it’s time to look forward not backwards you know that’s what Barbara would want you to do...indeed asked you to do.....it’s going to be a hard walk ahead, but as usual I/ we will be behind you giving you a shove sometimes or an invitation to rest awhile...
