Behind Her Walls

by Cindy   Jan 2, 2007


The years slip slowly by her,
Hidden behind these walls.
Each year full of past memories,
Time just waiting for her to fall.

Yet she hangs on tightly to each new day,
Scared to let go, wanting so badly to stay.
She knows that he is waiting for her,
Yet she yearns for another day.

Another day to see her son,
Watch her grand-children play and run.
She is starting to get tired now,
just one more day to see the sun.

One more day to see the snow fall,
Hear the birds singing from the window near by.
She feels him waiting for her,
She can not bear to hear her family cry.

She has been behind these walls forever,
It would be easy to just close her eyes.
She knows his loving arms are waiting,
Closing her eyes, one last sigh.

    That was a powerful poem, and it made me realize how short our time here on earth this is. I'm sure you will keep up this awesome work.
    Always a fan,
