Keeping a promise.
I woke up one morning,
to find him
waiting outside my door.
“Are you ready?”
“Ready for what?”
“You promised,
to take me out for breakfast today!”
He never forgets!
Never make one with him.
I kept forgetting!
He won’t accept a ‘no’.
So I dragged myself out reluctantly
to a ‘get set’ and ‘go’!
Another day began,
keeping in pace with him!
An aging carer ponders;
‘my mind wants,
as I used to,
but, will my body will it
in years to come?’
I must remember
not to over-promise
to avoid disappointing him.
Differently-abled person(s)
may have different thresholds
to contain disappointment.
