A Little More Time To Care

A Little More Time to Care There was a faithful woman blind since birth. She lived with “Mom” and never was a wife. Her mother, over ninety, knew the worth. The blind one bought a condo…her new life. Later on, she, blind, suddenly died. Young relatives for “things” quickly turned foes. Soon death was overcome; her faith thus tried. Priests blessed her; said, “Arise.” And she arose. She changed her will; gave one priest everything. A few weeks later, her dear mother died. It seemed that life had dealt a bitter sting. But death returned...together, they abide. © © Dane Smith-Johnsen February 3, 2010 Inspired by Poetry Soup member contest: Believe in Miracles Sponsored by: Carolyn Devonshire
