NOT ONLY IS IT DOUG’S BIRTHDAY, BUT IT’S THE SIX SENTENCE CUE OF THE WEEK!

In honor of Douglas’ 112th birthday (in human years) today…

The SIX SENTENCE CUE OF THE WEEK IS AGED!

…and a little poem I wrote for him some time ago…in six sentences

FORGOTTEN

It’s the middle of the night.

I feel the pressure of his weight on my chest,

the heat of his breath on my face-

he’s staring again.

Could it be he’s actually forgotten me?

My little old man is sundowning.

He gently touches my face.

Silently he beckons me to wake, and tell him who I am.

• COME BACK THURSDAY TO LINK UP!
• WITH A STORY ANY GENRE, A POEM, A BULLETIN, AN ANNOUNCEMENT…
• JUST COME BACK
• COME BACK WITH NO MORE (OR LESS) THAN SIX SENTENCES!
• OH, AND USE THE WORD aged…SOME HOW…
• OR IF YOU’D RATHER, USE THE WORD aged.

SEE YOU THERE!
