Eternity
By Asteria

It is raining
Hard and fast
All I can hear is the
Tip and tap
Of the rain on my glass window
It reminds me even more of the times you were here
When you would sit me on your lap during the rain storms
Telling me stories of adventure

It feels like only yesterday when I was running around this very house
The only sounds that were heard being laughter and the thumping of my foot steps
And it feels like only yesterday
That I was at your bedside clutching your hand as you said goodbye
And it feels like only yesterday
That tears were streaming down my face and they lowered you
In your wooden coffin
Into a fresh grave made just for you

And now I sit
Alone and Weeping
On the grave that was made just for you
For you the woman I knew all my life
From the minute I opened my eyes
The one at my bedside when I was sick
The one to console me when my wife passed
And the one that raised me
Forever and always I will morn your death
And know you as my mother
