Fountain of Youth
He sits.
Slightly stooped posture
Slow and limited movement
He watches.
Decrease in visual acuity
Diminished peripheral vision
He listens.
Hearing loss
Slowing of thought, memory, and thinking
He sits.
Prideful
Back straight, shoulders back
He watches.
Own definition of beautiful
Observing what life offers
He listens.
Laughter echoes
Noise slowly dies off
He sits.
Small hands get a hold of his.
He watches.
Small eyes are drawn towards him.
He listens.
“apa”
He is next to me.
