A Desperate Housewife

Nobody has never expected 
Anything great from Mrs Kerr
The  wife`s obligation was to make sure
That her family was safe and secure 
She wad thinking about everyone
But they were rarely thinking about her
She was so gentle, kind and pure
The mother`s  task was to comfort and cure
Now, her children and husband are gone
She is left all alone 
The flowers on the tree of her life
Are no longer rife 
And sometimes she thinks
That with her big heart and great mind
She could have done something great
But it is too late
Yes, it is  too late

This is truly an introspective write, Vasna...well written. But I believe that today, it is never too late unless one is extremely ill....even so, the human spirit is adaptable and very powerful...with a strong desire and determination and a little grace from God anyone can rise to greatness. Always, Annalise

Nothing like starting now, you have already accomplished much, but who knows what other amazing things you can do! So many wonder and if they only took the first step they would already be so far.
