the cleaning people
keep changing
the date
on my wall
calendar
before
I can do it
myself
not a race
or a reminder
just courtesy
and I
too grateful
for their
always cheerful
service
cannot say
don’t rush
the passage
of time
for I
am not
anxious
to see it
slip away
quite so quickly
one day
at a time
I really like this
Thank you. That’s kind of you to say.
Yes. So much in my thoughts now, too. Thanks for giving it words.
You’re welcome. It’s something one can’t help thinking about after a “certain” age.
That’s sweet of them, but they are inadvertently usurping your ability to delay its passage, tho intellectually we know its already passed 😞 loved this piece.

Thank you, dear Paris. What we know intellectually isn’t always so easy to accept emotionally, though learning to do that is what I suppose partially what wisdom is about. Something to look forward to, I suppose, farther down the line.
