Left Alone At Eighty In The Hearthstone Poem
An elderly man reflects on aging and loss on his eighty fifth birthday. He recalls sixty years with his wife Polly, their children, and a long life of labor. The piece mourns a quiet home, dawns of memory, and Sunday as a sacred day for working families.
