LEFT IN A CHAIR
A husband now gone, a lifetime spent together,
She has a life, not young anymore but a human being.
Everything has changed for this nice lady of an older age,
Taken from her home where comfort was her daily friend.
Cast aside in such ways, disregarded as a person due to aging,
Sad as the family she raised now takes away her Independence.
From once a baby now treated once again as a child, I watch this,
They wait for her to go, out of greed they seem not to care,
She sits by a back door, it seems her life is left in a chair.

You’ve captured it well. Sad, but often true. I hope she has God in Jesus’s name, then she won’t feel so alone.

This makes me sad for both of my grandmother’s who had to be put in nursing homes years ago.
Sorry about that, we seem to be one day away, all of us.
