Melrose - Morning Check Poem by Darwin Henry Beuning

You capture the moment so very well. She will observe another dawn, but it is still a sorrowful situation

An older, but timeless poem. Approaching death of a mother is hard to take. To wake up to another dawn is some consolation.

i imagine motion alarm was to alert 'keepers' when/if Mom started to wander. i had a cousin who moved back to her hometown to live in an apartment when her parents were still in there house but both elderly and my aunt was senile. alarm(s) was/were put on exterior house door(s) to sound if aunt opened it/them. she had wandered away from home at least once. i found this as i was returning to 'Melrose Morning' to get it for May showcase just now. bri ;)

I relate to this poem about the last days of your mother. R.I.P.

Hi-Just wanted to say how much that I like your written words... It was easy for me to relate to the meaning (and thoughts) within them...45
