Sunset at the nursing home

Old people

Staring into space

Like visitors

Staring wistfully

From the pier

As ships depart

Traveling ever further away

Some, more fortunate

Don’t realize

What has been lost

Life is hard

Going in

And going out

And often

In between

With good fortune

Going in

And going out

And often

In between

There is kindness
