A Sadness

A sadness, creeps up on me,
as I think about all the times,
we lived together. The little
things, now big, differ.
Sleeping with each other, in
the same bed, for 66 plus years.
Now I haven't slept with you since
November 22. No room in the hospital
bed and at this point, neither of us
would sleep well. Saddens me.

I spent 6 hours with you today and
you slept. You awoke briefly, several
times and looked at me but didn't
say anything. Is this all that
is left of our wonderful life, together?
Appears to be. Now I would like to have
you pain free and happy.
