Forever

     



                                                                Forever



She cried the tears of innocence,

As her mother walked away.

She held her little brother’s hand

And they both began to pray.



Confused, scared and bewildered

Each of them feeling alone.

Not knowing where they would go

Or if she would ever come home.



Merely a child herself

Her years were not yet ten.

There was no way to know

If she’d see her mom again.



It was her first goodbye

Had never been said before.

A moment in time remembered

A scar was her's forever more.



They forged through life together

Two siblings with one heart.

Weaving a fabric of love

Never to be torn apart.



The way they were affected

Only these two would know.

Thanking God they had each other

Helpful allowing them to grow.



In time mother did return

But life was never the same.

Not knowing when or if

She would ever leave again.
