Move On

Her grown children
Have steered her to
Ask me to go so I will
Keep my promise never
To betray or abandon her
Unless she asked me to go,
She was unhappy and felt I was
Too controlling though she is a
Bit forgetful and needed help.
I am packing up my life to go
Back to Austin Texas where
I have family and friends,
Perhaps living alone will
Agree with me though
I am so used to the
Role of helpmate
To a wife with
Dementia
And to
Carol.
Perhaps she
Will be happier
Without me at her
Side discovering
Solace in our
Red doggie
Rosie.
Her
Grown
Children
Will find her
Care less tasty
Than the fun
Of sitting
Around
The
Cauldron
Stirring the pot.
