He lived alone,
early in his life,
then the demands/joy,
of having a wife.

Someone to talk to,
about events, did manifest.
A person to relax with,
who shared his interest.

Is it too much to ask for,
she would ask, with a smile.
Where is my beloved?
She's been gone awhile.

All of the memories,
from so long ago,
are only recalled, by him,
when reliving their life's show.

Thoughts of being near the ocean
are in my mind. Many years we spent
on the Oregon coast. I miss it. I will
return again, alone with my memories.

When did indifference,
become a popular way,
to treat residents of
this assisted living community?

Leaving a resident in the dining room,
when they want to go back to their room.
Perhaps there is a better way to
deal with this. Certainly better
than the resident beating on the table
with their cup. It distracts the wait staff
from taking meal orders and waiting
on others residents.

How wonderful,
life could be,
when surrounded by,
family and friends like thee.

Must we keep hidden,
how we feel,
or have I known,
what was real?

I don't know,
not sure I care,
I just hope people,
are aware,

of how good you've been,
to me during this lifetime,
when I thought my life was over.
It wasn't my time.

Time for me to make a trip to the Oregon Coast
