Found this older man
Sleeping in my bed…
I threw him out
And my day began.
He was pleased, I tied 
His shoes: a small comfort.
He walked submissively,
Warmly greeting 
His newfound life.

I declare!  You are a regular riot, or it is too late here and me too tired to boot...
You tied his shoes...I'm lost. That was nice of you.

tying his shoes....might that be a reference to Jesus washing his disciples feet?  Anyways , that's how I took it.

This is a great piece. The tying of laces, the hope of not being forgotten as time marches on. The small reward for putting up with so much. A gift to yourself.  I really like this.

I think you conveyed the realization of aging quite well.  I like the acceptance at the end.
