She basically lives on a walker,
something inconceivable to her
when she was younger.
When she saw all the old people
on walkers, she knew she’d never
be one of them.
She always thought she’d never lose
her mobility and need a
walker or a wheelchair to get around.
Now she wonders how that ever could have
happened to her when she always exercised
and took good care of herself
just like all the people who got old
and never thought they’d end their
days in nursing homes.

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
