We surround her,
not because she can't get up,
but rather because she draws us in,
pulls us to her
as she's done for so many years,
in so many lives.
Age has entered her tiny body,
with all its pain and cloudy confusion
and yet she remains proud,
a matriarch,
holding us all together.
Even now, she's teaching us
...to be kinder
...to be more content
...to listen
Fragility has never looked so strong.
