She passed by swaying
Smiling while secretly fading
Hands shaking
Gracefully breaking
Afraid
Wishing for the sweet sound of a serenade
Memories ebbing and flowing
Children growing
Love overflowing
Outside with the wind blowing
Once upon a time
A beautiful life in rhyme
She couldn't explain
Afflicted brain
Emotions remain
Life hard to sustain
A beauty turned hollow
A dark path to follow
A mother's love always preserving
Frantically searching
Car swerving
Life no longer felt deserving
