Flickering Light

 Alice is dying at home.

Her daughter is doing her best to care for her.

Alice is 93 years old.

She hasn't spoken in a few days

and hasn't been eating or drinking.

Her daughter says it's just a matter of time. 

The same is true of all of us.

The day after Christmas

of a very hard year 

is no easier than the others.

The light flickers in the bulb

and the one next to it is burnt out.

Holding on, holding on, the light

is holding on, holding on.
