Mirrors Srorrim

Loving family members gather around the bed of a dying soul, awaiting transformation Fiftieth wedding anniversary, twists and turns A marriage ceremony in a quaint town A college degree conferred upon the star athlete Homecoming queen Cheerleading team Marching band Dark or light tan Youthful angst navigating a treacherous world Trying to find meaning amongst cruel jabs and Malicious blows Innocence stolen as fast as the rising wind As swift as an eagle Jubilant Cries Truthful lies Fall leaves Evergreen trees A nightly visitor in the form of a train drowns the screams and cries of a helpless soul looking for solace, for peace No one comes No help arrives Painful moments usher in a new dawn The soul of an undiscovered love Looming on The horizon Loving family members gather around the bed of a woman, pregnant with hope, waiting to be born.
