Sitting staring into space
Remembering another time and place
Now all alone in her silent world
Peacefully waiting…
The sounds of life pass her by
The hue and cry out in the streets
Birds in the trees fill the air
With their twitterings and tweets
Another time, another place…
Soon she’ll quit the human race
The race of life is almost run
And she accepts what is to come

I think we only understand that as we ourselves age, John. Thank you for understanding.

To me this person is teetering on the line between acceptance and hopelessness. Which way will she land?
Every phase of life has it’s losses. But it also has it’s gifts and blessings and rewards.

it is sad a bit to watch it all go passed…but then again, there comes a point where you realize the inevitable and perhaps just enjoy the show…smiles.

That is very true, Brian. Also when one loses some of ones senses, like sight and hearing, and left mostly in your own world…

Life is a marathon, without a set finish line.. And I plan on being one of those stragglers that come across the line, long after the crowds have disappeared..lol
