rejuvenatement – not retirement

cancer

Slipping Away

January 21, 2017lillian6 Comments

I was a flower
dew drop petals waving to the sun.

I was tall. Hopscotched on chalk
balanced one foot, then two.

I am brittle sans bloom.
Seed scattered.

Roots slowly rot,
losing ground to this horrible disease.
