What’s the matter Rosemary <br /> why are you so sad? <br />' Because I’m in this ‘Rest Home’ <br /> it makes me feel so bad, <br /> <br />At one time I crossed the ocean, <br /> to visit foreign lands. <br />Now I can’t pass the exit sign <br /> and I don’t understand, <br /> <br />The aides here must leave one rail down <br /> I have the right to fall. <br />Long as I do my falling here <br /> to go home’s not my call. <br /> <br />I wonder why it is they care <br /> if I fall ‘here’ or ‘there’ <br />Could it be this reason, <br />‘here’is paid by medi-care? <br /> <br />I am just not ready <br /> and they can’t understand. <br />To give up will be my final choice <br /> then my life will be out of my hands.' <br /> <br /> c.d.m.2008<br /><br />cheryl davis miller<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/whats-the-matter-3/
