A New Widow

Wailing, moans, sobs… this I heard as I worked away.

Ripping, tearing, screaming… a being tumbling into the abyss with no bearings.

Crushed dreams, shocked being, a heart bleeding, life seeping to death… this I heard.

Those days I remember… but had forgot. Would I ever forget… I thought not.

Yet, here am I waking, sleeping, working, playing, facing each moment with hope and strength.

Miracles, miraculous… just words, yet look at me then, look at me now… miraculous, miracle.

This shawl of life I give to you… wrap tight around your shoulders, your heart, your being…

Wrap tight, hold tight, for life returns little by little…
