How cruel of life at end of day
that all of us should fade away,
one head going hoary white,
ready to give up the fight
while all around it, fresher shoots
sturdier and less hirsute
push upward in the dawning morn,
the meadow to freshly adorn.
The prompt word today was “Faded.”

Won’t we all fade away at the end of day? It’s scary yet so true. Your words gave this picture a philosophical approach.

So sorry to hear that. It never gets easier. In a way it gets harder every time, I think.
