Frail Hands


Frail Hand (16-151Z)

sit quietly beside
holding frail hand
in his waning presence abide
days are numbered in this land


finally found a peace
can just rest side by side
Fall season changing leaf
acceptance finally resides


not to the swift
presented many choices
each moment a gift
finally room for inner voice


waxing of season
suddenly life found
place beyond reason 
in waning days life abounds


Memories of my father-in-law.
