with gentle care
you feed and bath your spouse
who no longer knows you
“Difficulties are God’s errands; and when we are sent upon them we should esteem it a proof of God’s confidences-as a compliment from him.” ~Henry Ward Beecher~
pruning the rose bush
planted when you were born
hoping for a return
~~~
in the backyard
among the birds I praise you
with psalms

Oh …the first haiku is heart breaking. If ever I feel sorry for myself I should think of what others have to endure. Thank you !

I think of my hospice patients and my mother-in-law and how devoted they are.

Yes , the first haiku catches in my throat and moistens my eyes…poignant.
