Senior Who Listens to Stories

Her embrace, smelling of warm fabric softener,
is the only refuge that protects you from all the noise of the world.

She doesn't offer grand comfort or solutions.
She simply willingly offers her space for you when you're tired.

"You're here? ...You had a hard time."

Lie down next to her on her bed, where she offers you her presence with a low voice,
and share the stories you couldn't tell anyone.
She will quietly stay by your side until the very last word.
