Admittance to Long-Term Care.
Final Downsizing Tasks
Accumulation of meticulous notes.
Lifetime of memories.
Books of family recipes.
Books you published.
Photos fading to brown.
Large clothing donation bins.
Selling your car.
Driving to the Goodwill.
Making other arrangements.
Ups and downs expected.
Nieces helping out.
Apartment keys turned in.
Closing a door.
On a life that matters.

It’s so sad that these days so many older people end their days in long-term care homes. Whatever happened to the family care of yesteryear?
I loved your poem, thought-provoking.
