Elderly Care Struggles

In sorrows cast by time's embrace, An aged soul now wears a troubled face. Eighty-seven years of stories untold, Yet now, frustration's grip takes hold. A promise made to nurture and to care, But words once clear now slip through despair. In her eyes, confusion paints its art, A puzzle piece, once whole, torn apart. A violence born from silence and pain, A symphony disrupted, a dissonant strain. I yearn to mend the fragments that break, Yet helpless, I watch her mind depart. The passage of years, a life of guilt, Leaves echoes of memories, she can't tell apart. With love, I stand by her, a steadfast guide, Though words falter, emotions won't hide. In the twilight of days, we journey on, A promise kept, even when hope seems gone. To bring solace to a heart that's now worn out. A vow to endure, till a new morn is born.
