Old Age Has Its Overwhelming Sadnesses Poem by Shalom Freedman

Old Age Has Its Overwhelming Sadnesses

Rating: 5.0


At family and friends no longer here-
The victory of outlasting everyone
is empty-
How one misses them all
In one’s long final loneliness,

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Every age knows sadness, but old age has experienced all the sadnesses of all the ages, so it is compounded. And there really is no blessing in outlasting family and friends. Last one standing.... not something to aspire to.
