For herself June 24, 2024

  

We grow old

We drink our

Coffee cold,

No tea spoons

To count out

The days of

Our loves,

Perhaps only

The slow trot

Over less

Traveled path,

Recording

The journey

For posterity,

With the camera

Sometimes

Our only company,

We grow old

Reaching the age

Of colonoscopy

Instead of tea leaves,

We all trying

To keep pace

With the random

Thoughts that

Fill our heads,

She on her journey

Alone, yet strangely

Happy, as if she

Finally came to

A path she always

Wanted to be on,

And has come

To realize

She doesn’t need

Anybody else

To bring her joy,

She can do all that

For herself
