Dignity
Now beginning my golden years
Observing the fragility of good health
Seeing my Mom loosing her freedom
Mobility issues suck the life out of her
Two heart attacks leaving her damaged
Hope of brighter days not shining right now
Understanding fully her desire for a DNR
While others might not think it an option
Life is golden when we live with gentleness
Our health will eventually fail us over time
Even our minds are captured in a foggy world
But deep within our hearts we can know stillness
The only thing we control is our attitude
Our situations and circumstances happen
When we react with peace, with inner strength
We are walking this golden pathway with dignity

Dedicated to my Mom;
and to all who age
with dignity;
with grace;
with love.
