Orphan

Rochelle Lynn Holt

We weep before and then after our loss,
because we know we will be alone
though we hope our loved one is not.

Without Mother, we become orphan
whose Father already has fought.
Like stones we roll on without gathering moss

unlike our youth when tied in knots.
Always we were urged to be own boss;
to risk adventure of riding roan.

Seems like yesterday I felt partner-loss,
but I’ve known Mother twice that lot.
I’m aware she’ll be departing soon.

Still, her last months are tangled, caught
up in POA son pushed group home.
Fed-up caretaker became the “big boss.”

He changed her last days to sad groans.
He caused anguish by breaking his promise.
Now, family ties are beyond taut.

We weep before and then after our loss,
because we know we will be alone
though we hope our loved one is not.
