Against gray walls, soft light reflects Her memories, her endless quest For contentment, not so complex Her gentle soul always felt blessed She recalls all the times of hope Against gray walls, soft light reflects Faith is with her so she can cope Joys come, beyond what she expects Love is the thing she still respects She thinks of the pleasure she’s known Against gray walls, soft light reflects Living gladly in her brownstone Thoughts of her past ever haunt her This old house thrives with her effects Her soul recalls love she’ll prefer Against gray walls, soft light reflects

a poignant, somewhat sad, but hopeful creation of this woman as she sits in the old house and reflects. Reminds me somewhat of my grandmother who spent hours in front of her window reflecting upon her days. Loved it....have a beautiful day, Sara
