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

As most do. Very few ever discover the preciousness of life until it’s too late. 🙏
