Enduring Time
On her face I see her life story
Her eyes reflect only sadness
Her hair now gray, once her glory
Tired resignation replacing gladness.
The children now grown and miles away
Widowed, reclusive, feeble and old,
Wishing to unshackle her feet of clay
Waiting to see Heaven’s gates unfold.
This world no longer holds anything new
Friends have long since passed as well
People who visit are rare and few
No longer on earth does her spirit dwell.
To be young again is not her dream
Her life has been lived full and long
The thrill of living has lost it’s gleam
Now unable to hear the notes of a song
Waiting to take that final breath
Life now a void for her haggard heart
Desolately welcoming the hand of death
And from this world physically depart.
