WHY?

Why?
What's it all about?
Lying there asleep;
slumped over.

She doesn't recognize anyone.
She barely speaks at all.
She's having trouble swallowing.
She spends her days asleep.

She's been widowed nine years.
Her three sons have all died before her.
Her two daughters-in-law do care,
but they live so far away.

What is her life's purpose now?
Is there still more to be done?
When will her struggle be over?
       Why?
            What's it all about?
