the essence

it's not just
his memory,
or the way
his muscles
don't respond, or
the thinning of hair,
or trembling in
his hands.
it's not the failing
of vision,
or slowness
in speaking.
it's none of that
that matters now.
you see past it to
the essence
of his life as it
was and always
will be in
your heart.
