Blank stare
I saw her being wheeled out by the ambulance service,her name is Sarah,
she has been on dialysis for many years, I see her often
when I bring Clarence in for his appointment;
four long hours, three times a week, it is exhausting for him,
and it seems also for Sarah, though she is much older,
90 I think.

So I walked up to the ambulance to say hi, she seemed so weak,
much thinner from when I last saw her, her eyes big
looking from beneath her cover, scared, confused,
it was sad for she did not know or remember me at all.
So I reintroduced myself, smiled, and got a blank stare,
as I left I felt sad, for death is near, perhaps very soon,
such a nice lady, soon her pilgrimage will be over,
the world will lose another bright light,
it is the same for all of us,
just passing through, yet a truth often forgotten;
I will miss her very much.
