I have been overwhelmed lately by my friends crises. When I think about the things that others are facing tears come to my eyes. If only we could fix whatever we wanted. Sadly, life is not that way.
As we get older we have to face the reality of others traveling with us are also aging. With age come health issues. We cannot live forever. I know this and yet it still hurts to see those we care about struggling. I tried to express some of this in this poem.
Aging Change
Life doesn’t last
forever
we know
yet watching
as time
erodes
friendships
descent
into pain
how to
absorb
loss
loss of abilities
bring
aches
and yet
we
continue
to love
to grow
to love
until
the end
And beyond
worry-less-journey 
Beautifully penned. I lost friends and associates at early ages, but it seems to have really be driven home after my parents passed. Now there are so many walking through this stage of life
