Labor of Love
She looked intently at the man
A smile spread when she took his hand
Tears dribbled down his wrinkled face
She offered a soft cloth edged with lace
Nursing homes too busy for his quiet voice
Her frequent visits calmed him, her loving choice

Oh my…..you have captured the loneliness, the beauty, the sadness, the momentary joy that happens in these places we call “nursing homes”.

Cheryl, your empathetic poem of healing is beautiful. She is his angel, and I feel he heals her as well in their relationship. The word for today is “work.” Can you please write another with work in it or modify this one (which I wouldn’t expect you to)? Thanks much.

No worries, my bad, for putting Labor in the title. I wanted to keep it Labor for Labor Day, but I thought work opened the prompt up to other definitions that labor didn’t.

Taking time to work the problem
Researching the best possible endgame
Scientists pour over available files
They’re filled with opinionated guile
A senator’s speech so far not defined
Parents’ wishes blatantly denied
Today, charts and graphs seem blind
Child safety not in the guide.

So true, the more controlled things get, the less sense it makes. It’s who funds the study that determines the final conclusion…
