Elderly, Or Not

Silence Acrostic

By Rowan Finley Published 2 years ago 1 min read

Silvery head bowed down low

I held her hand and she smiled

Listening intently but hard of hearing

Energy reminiscent and diminished

Nothing but grace and peace in the air

Captivated by the lulling violin music

Each day is a gift, elderly or not
