The day he lost his room
a day to remember
'Twas to be expected
defer to new baby
A fun part of him changed
on the porch bed for him
Did not complain or cry
in this he had no voice
Wouldn't be the last time
only first of many
Last? Sold his
pickup truck

- Generally for the "Micro-poetry" I try to use exactly 55 words. But tonight I hit 59. I could pare off six, one line for some, and add a three word title. Or use larger words. But no, I'll leave it like this.

Ah, "everything passes" and "change is the only constant". Somewhat melancholy, but inevitable.
Giving up always has that side of reluctance. Nice emotions captured in your poem Jim
Much🌼love
In the south, the "summer porch" is a real thing! I'm sure the sacrifice was greatly appreciated
Change is constant. I like this poem, Jim.
