Two Broken
"Oh, Harry! Harry is that you?"
The old lady calls to the young man passing by.
"I have looked for you everywhere, but could not find you.
Why are they keeping me here, Harry?"
And when he pats her hand and bids her goodbye,
his heart is breaking;
For he wishes with all his being to have had her same recognition.
This scene is played out in homes for the aging repeatedly..
