his nice soft landing

at 93 most of my father's friends
are dead.
navy buddies, pals
from nova scotia,
but he has
meals on wheels.
he has my sister taking care
of his bills.
he has me who visits twice
a year.
but that's about it.
oh and Esther, his new girl
friend that he 
snuggles with on Sunday.
a few neighbors check in
from time to time.
chat with him when he's out
sunning himself on his
lawn chair in the front yard.
he's in a good place.
his crazy life is coming to an
end with a nice
soft landing.
