Mary
A moment in time frozen in my mind
a younger you standing at the cusp of summer
Wind in your hair, light in your eyes
that rippling laughter that gave itself away
to me, ...
Beneath two loving arms fleshy dough rose
as we gathered in the kitchen and spoke...
How I long today to hear your voice again,
while those busy hands showed me how
to knead and gather, your heart was full
of say...
Time has taken away your health, today
I wish I could stop the hour glass from sifting
ALS has taken its tole on you, Mary
bit by bit it is taking you away, from those you love
Oh how i wish that you could stay,
for forever and a day...
Frozen in my mind, like you were yesterday !
