“The Weight of Her Sorrows”


her beloved child

unique

irreplaceable

each day a miracle

she shelters

advocates

her joy wrapped in loss

 

her life partner

unchanging

dedicated

each day a miracle

she lingers

vigilant

her love imprisoned by illness

 

her treasured sister

precious

prized

each day a miracle

she weeps

alone

her life changed by chance

 

her independent life

unconventional

melodic

each day a miracle

she fades

diminished

her essence cut by dementia
