Poetic Asides Special Day


September First, 2018.

Forty-four more days to go.
Retirement date is set.
After raising two kids,

housing three college students,
hosting four adults
with developmental disabilities,

it will be the first time
in almost thirty-seven years
Hubby and I will be alone.

They say caregivers go first.
Our goal is to retire
before we die.

He is a two-time stroke survivor.
I have an impinged shoulder,
among other health issues.

Sometimes I wonder
if we’ll make it.
Here’s hoping.
