Warm Reassuring Branches

Cuddled in complacency
Assuring herself nothing will change
She is content

Personified oak
Wrapped in warm bark
Warm reassuring branches

Perfect husband
Happy children
Wonderful life

911 happens
To her
Tearing her limb from limb

Caren, The winds of change, always blowing. The worry is always there. Is that Mustang, lost in time, still trying to flip? -Richard
