His mind’s imploded
Folding up into itself
Where he can feel safe
Here, there is no risk
No explanation needed
A defensive move
Do very little
Then no one expects too much
He can control this
Leaving life behind
He is not the same man they knew
He hid himself well
Faking far too long
It was harder to pretend
Aged him way too fast
Measures time with pills
Visits from home health nurses
In between his naps

Thank you for your attitude of gratitude!
The little bumps in the road are often what we remember but only because we don’t like bumps. Bumps get our attention. They call to us to pay closer attention to where we are along our journey. Bumps in the road, are our friends.
Affirmation: I appreciate the bump that brought me back to reality!
I appreciate you. Love, Annette Rochelle
