is dragged out of the room by her daughter.
The old man screams
"Don't take my wife away."
His petite wife turns and looks -
fear in her eyes.
The woman’s daughter takes her
mother’s hand.
The white skinned man sits on the sofa,
buries his head in his hands.
His wife is going to a nursing home.
Within a few short days,
his wife passes on.
At that precise moment,
the old man feels a stabbing pain
in his chest.
He falls forward knowing in his heart
that love is color blind.
