Some Other Day, Some Other Time

Alone was I without condole nor ease. Indebted to the world was only me- My parents taken too young from disease, but rich in hope and faith I would agree. Affection of a husband not bestowed, abandoned with remorse when I was born- I walked a path where cruel pain did explode, betrayed in my heart with a smile forlorn. I live now in a home too wee to see. An artist with no gift to spark her muse- I fear love shan’t prevail without decree, forsaken walking in my mother's shoes. For I am but a girl who loathes her life- at no time shall I be a mom nor wife.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I chose Allie Hamilton from "The Notebook" Plot about a girl raised rich in wealth who falls in love with a regular hard working young man named Noah. They find their way back to each other and get married. He built her a huge house to live in when he was young. She suffered from Alzheimer's when she was old and grey and Noah reads her a "notebook" he kept of their love story. They have children also. They end up dying together in her hospital bed at the end of the movie. She lived a long life with Noah and they just couldn't live without each other. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One of my first times trying IP. Hope I did okay!

Congratulations on your second placement with this great sonnet. I loved James Garner and Gena Rowland's performance best in that movie. Oscar worthy performances, I thought. : )
