#6 of life

I'm going to be lazy this time 5 to 3 tag min (sorry..er well I don't know if you even care though :/ probably do -.-) and happy valentines day to you all ^.^


An old woman sits all alone

Unloved, uncherished and unknown.

Sitting beside her broken door.

Dreaming of days past long ago,

When children played about her knee

Filling the air with childish glee,

Tended by her with loving care.

Knowing the blessing of a Mother's prayer.

But now they have gone, each to his life

A girl to her husband, a boy to his wife,

Forgetful are they of her who sits here

Silently wiping a tricking tear,

For striving for things in a life so brief

Blind their poor eyes to a dear Mother's grief.

But does she upbraid them in word or in mind.

Nor does their neglect to her seem unkind.

She'll forgive and forget all unkindness they've shown

This poor old mother who sits alone
