My Christmas Eve

By marebel

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Time passes time passed so quickly already 'twas another year into the 21st century My mother has lived 75 years Numbers What did they mean? She'd had a bad year falls, blackouts lucidity, vacant stares energy burnout, no appetite The War at home had shocked her silence blankness a fragile child we were her mothers suffering all her life this had finally told on her acceptance on our part? Time was slipping away Quickly now... What will happen? Prayer, a soft touch, helping hands We'll take it Day by Day, Yes Day by day...
