Losing Her Mother At Twelve

Growing up in a grief filled home
Where laughter would never be heard
The blinds kept drawn
For death to linger ever present

Tom Cunningham February 20, 2021 at 4:01 PM So sad for a child to lose her mother at such a young age, her grief will stay with her a long time until she can come to terms with it. Good luck in the contest, I hope you are well Line. Tom Line Gauthier February 20, 2021 at 6:12 PM Thanks, Tom ~ much appreciated
