Soul of Sorrow

Walking through the years alone now She reflected on her past How the summers seemed so cold now Sunshine chilled her with it's blast She was slim and so beautiful Long dark hair and pure white gown Gentle footprints in the meadow On her journey to the town She remembered when the birds sang Now she couldn't hear their song All the colours in the rainbow Dancing in her mind so long As she went on with her journey Her thoughts turned to reminisce On that first sweet December night When she cherished her first kiss How the laughter used to ring out As their love began to grow Such a wondrous joyful feeling Full of happiness and glow She walked on with mounting sadness And looked down upon the town Where she gave life to her daughter wracked with pain and stains abound As her daughter took her first breath So she also took her last Twenty four and life was over Such a tragic final past So she walks the years alone now Ever searching for a sight Just a glimpse of her dear daughter As she saw her on that night Now the darkness wraps around her Drawing her into its fold She can rest until the morning Then more searching in the cold.
