Donna Jones Poet Couplet

Through My Fear

Oh granny gran...I'm here, I'm here
I held you so close, even through my fear

You're so cold...please open your eyes
Just once again..see sunny blue skies

Paper white skin, against my rough calloused hand
Each breath slips away, like hourglass sand

Sirens screem, but you can't speak
You tremble...my knees are weak

God granted us these precious days
To laugh again..and be amazed..

And say I love you, although you know
Through my fear, my love will show

*hello everyone.sorry I've not been able to read all your wonderful poems and comment lately...
  I found my Mother In Law in a diabetic coma a few days ago..unresponsive...almost lost her....
  Been caring for her a lot...she is almost 91....hope to be back among the fun real soon..:-) :-)
