Epitaph

“you’re killing me….” words that I hung in the air, a prophecy that resonates through sleepless nights my heart said goodbye to itself that chilling evening in early August how sacred the hidden treasure of a wife and mother how broken the memories how haunting the path not taken

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
