By Gypsie-Ami Offenbacher-Ferris

A son estranged from his mother
breaks her heart
leaves her lonely
aching
His mother’s sister aloof and distant
leaves her call’s unanswered
presents and gifts without a thank you
hurtful
Daughter communicative but busy
so close but doesn’t visit
a drive of two hours too arduous
heavy-hearted
Lover chooses another path
his own life full of adventure
loving family and friends
sorrow
She remembers her parents
aunts, uncles, friends and a spouse
all removed from this world and gone
despair
Time slipping away faster and faster
body failing spirit waning
wondering why so many throw time
away
