30 Years Ago

Marjorie helped Elsie 

In the last years of her life.

I bought Elsie’s house

When Elsie moved out

That was when Marjorie helped Elsie into care.


Then 30 years later, Marjorie started to show her age

And I began to see Marjorie around less every day.

Then the for sale sign went up on Marjorie’s house.

And I realised I’d not seen Marjorie about.


Now I think about 30 years from now.

I wonder if anyone will notice me not around

When my 30 year expiry finally runs out.

Will my Marjorie appear to guide me out?
