vision fades
hearing lies
touch hurts
taste dulls
smell empties

and occasionally a sense of humour

Awesome;) and very well written:)
Thank you, Deb.
You are most welcome; Shawn:))
This reminds me of my Nanna, her sense of humour and memory were there until the end. Thank you for sharing – I love how poetry can mean different things to different people 🙂
My pleasure. Thank you for stopping by, Carrie!
