Whether Weather

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm. - Thoreau

sitting and holding her ninety-three year old hand in assisted living

both her and my talk of the weather long since exhausted

soon she'll be in heaven where it's created

a sweet cake of life risen, baked and frosted

Author's Note

“Age is no better, hardly so well, qualified for an instructor as youth, for it has not profited so much as it has lost.” - Thoreau
