Many go to death with aching hearts,
many with bodies ailing from old age.
Many go to young, but you too old.
You go to death with fading mind and memories
crumpled in your hands like tissue paper.

I would give you more dignity if I could.

I buckle your seatbelt and pretend that I drive
because you do not like to anymore;
perhaps I am right.
