A Mother's Sigh
by Laryalee Fraser (Age: 68)
copyright 05-24-2002


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 


Her happily-ever-after dream
was not a palace, gowns or pearls.
She saw a simple garden gate,
a fireplace, white curtain swirls;
a home with laughter, warm and fresh,
where children learned and parents spoke
with tenderness. For just a while,
she held her dream. But then it broke.

She clings to fragments that remain,
stares back along a battered trail
and signs she recognized too late.
She must erase the fairy tale;
her focus now is to protect
her children, teach them how to fly.
She has no soft-swirled dreams to give --
just love that lives in every sigh.
