The Moment You First See Your Parents as People

By Saywisely

You see the gray, the careful sigh,
The distant worry in their eye.
The story that they've never told,
Of how they, too, grew tired and old.

The role is shed, the curtain falls,
And something in your spirit stalls.
For in their place, you see them stand:
Two weary people, hand in hand.
