Glistening eyes among the stars,
Hidden in the pupil all those scars.
Not a word in their coming end,
Stand by them like a friend.
Numbed by death as eyes fade away,
Grim reaper calls we obey.
Residents smile come to their death call
As their time fade like leaves in fall.
Truly all life lead to the silent tone,
And leave with human decency alone.
Hidden in the pupil all those scars.
Not a word in their coming end,
Stand by them like a friend.
Numbed by death as eyes fade away,
Grim reaper calls we obey.
Residents smile come to their death call
As their time fade like leaves in fall.
Truly all life lead to the silent tone,
And leave with human decency alone.
I remember as I watched the elderly residents waiting for their final destination, I did my best to keep their human dignity by treating them as a person, because i knew grim reaper was near. Reflecting it back, it kinda saddens me to know they struggled to keep their livelihood consistent, and I only did my job in the senior housing. I saw their eyes showed so much hidden thoughts kept within them, but in their eyes i knew one day I will be there in due time, but all I did was my job! I shall cherish their memories and honor them in my mind, and with what little ink I can express, because grim reaper is there waiting for us all!
