Treasured Memories
I hadn't seen her before,
We had a brief moment together,
Which still lingers in me,
I've had so much about her,
She had often sent her love and gifts.
I didn’t notice what I was told about her,
It was an ease discussion,
She talked about the gone days,
She talked about family values and vicissitudes,
The pains and troubles of motherhood.
I saw a woman who had battled her midnight,
I saw a woman who had
journeyed on a path fraught with briers and nettles,
She had so much to say,
Her eyes spoke volumes.
It was the last and only time I saw her,
She promised we would see soon,
But that day didn't open its door for us,
She wasn’t wakened by dawn,
She has gone on a forever trip.
