Poetic-Verses-Awakening Spirits and Memories
Back
Take me back to my childhood day,
Where I'll no longer be old and grey!
Take me back to when I lived in mother's home,
So I won't have to live with old and twisted bone.
Take me that time when I was young...
And the days were long,
When I will no longer be...
A twisted old crone!
Where pain is not my constant companion,
the only song to be sung!
When I will no longer sorrow...
Misery to heavy to be borne!
So many years have gone since those happy days,
When I would spend many hours at play!
The sun would shine my heart was full and glad.
Now my days are dull, my heart alone and sad.
Those days were happy and carefree…
But now I send up daily plea.
Those days it was joyous to be alive…
Now death would be a welcome surprise!
I yearn for those times of innocent youth…
Now I'm just too old in the tooth!
Too much pain and sorrow has dragged me down
Permanently I wear that widow's gown.
Once I would have given anything…
For the happiness which life could bring!
Once I wished for another day...
But when my boys died,
My heart gave way.
The war took them! Death came so swift!
Their life over God took back his gift.
Years have gone by one by one...
He took them all!
Death played his game...!
They all answered his call!
Now that so much has gone under the bridge,
Here I remain, left alone, my only wish…
That death comes to me swift!
Too many loved ones have gone!
Death came for them over the years,
For me, too many shed tears!
I no longer have love...
For which to live for…
So I sit and wait...
For Death to come knock at my door!
