The Retirement Home

Our bodies and minds
are wearing out.
Our loved one send us here
to live with strangers
with a variety of backgrounds,
personalities and temperaments.
We pass time by watching each other.
Like we are all part of a soap opera.

We are provided food, therapy
and entertainment.
They do or work, 
laundry and cleaning..

As time passes
we lose track of  the days,
months and years 
and Christmas keeps coming.

Eventually, we pass 
and more worn out people
fill our space.
