With the years
  you begin to realize -
no one will love you
  as much as your parents,
your grand parents,
  especially when they are gone...

Your grown-up kids
  don't need you
as much as before...

Your great love
  forgot you long ago...

Your husband
  has just been
the father of your babe...

Your brothers and sisters
  are having their own lives
and only the childhood memories
  are a connection...

Your friends
  are no friends,
but aquaintances -
  better or worse...


Your contribution to this world
   is miniscule
and your death is not such a big deal...
