Another chapter
Another chapter has opened before me
another moment when my world has been changed
nothing will be the same each morning I wake
and at sunset I can only welcome down the rain.
In this chapter there will be no future horizons
there will be no more reaching for the stars
now is the time for honest reflection
to understand a life that is scarred.
My children treat me as though I never existed
yet no one will tell me why this is so?
My beautiful grandson as been torn from my life
and his sister I’ll never get to know.
So this chapter will hold little happiness
there will be no more smiling faces to see
except those I hold dear deep in my heart
those memories that still hold onto me.
