her world has gotten awfully small
a bed, TV, a clock, a chair
and there’s a little table there
that holds a phone so I can call
she’ll watch the Red Sox playing ball
but can’t recall her favorite player
her world has gotten awfully small
a bed, TV, a clock, a chair
she can’t afford another fall
and moves around with extra care
with special socks that she must wear
to bathroom only down the hall
her world has gotten awfully small
My heart. So poignant, yet so hard to realize. And all that we can do is to love them for who they are, and who they are to us.
