She looks out windows,
The flowers are now blooming
Her eyes are shadows
What is seen is a blurring
As vision now goes.

She sits at doorways
Wheels instead of walking feet,
Indoors she now stays,
The outdoors she never greets,
There day after day

She picks at her meals,
Tasteless gone is the hunger,
Nothing now appeals,
Fragrances are now odor
The sating won’t fill.

She sleeps more each day,
If dreaming they are forgot,
Thoughts just slip away
Takes the joy they might have brought,
So in sleep she’ll stay.

This one is not gloomy, just very sad. You captured well what happens to many. If there is such a person in your life I am sorry for your pain.

I've watched, over time, one such one disinegrate and it was a most unpeasant part of life, and I was not even a relative.

Heart hugs, Pat

Thank you, Justbleu,
I appreciate you taking the time to respond

Thank you, Junemac,
I am pleased you liked it

Thank you, regards2you,
I spend each Sunday after church in a Nursing home
Where my mother now lives
I am blessed she still here and recognizes me,
So many children come and are not know by a parent
The sadness of theirs fills me.
