Papa has “a touch the dementia”

Papa has “a touch the dementia”
Mama knows better than the doctors,
The financial planners and the lawyers, all
Daughter’s emotions have static electricity
Social Security says son’s intellect disables him
The other daughter is overwhelmed
By the financial numbers, the
Complexity of the family dynamics,
And the distance she lives apart
They may seem to pull in different directions
They may harden their opinions
Even fight
But might it be that
Sometimes people just don’t know
How to agree
And a good heart and a good head
Might be the logjam loosener?
