The hands that held me tight
When I stumbled
Is now fragile
Searching someone to hold him tight
Keeping him away from fright.
I couldn’t hold my tears
To watch Robust of yesteryear’s
In fears.
This is where
The fate breaches faith.

Ah, the tenderness of age. It comes with wisdom, fear and a lot of emotion.
Yes Saru..it's about my father battling with Parkinson & old age.
Lovely poem…it reminded me of my late grandfather…he too battled Parkinson's but fortunately didn't suffer for too long. Much love and strength to you xx
