Lament
Being old did not define them
the lives they lived
the lives they gave and made
through hardship and hard work
with few if any luxuries.
The loves they loved and gave,
the hugs, the smiles,
some tears, much laughter.
They were our mums and dads.
We gave them the joy of our children
to make them great and grand for another generation.
This is who they were.
They were not expendable.
We are not the herd.
