This is for my Mother who lost her remaining parent ( her Mother)this Mothers day:
An orphan born of time is she
The sands of time did shift,
reshaping her identity
Alone! No Mother! An orphan in this land!
Cruel time. You've had your way.
And now, the orphan you've created is the tender for to pay
You've claimed your price
She's locked in time
Henceforth an orphan
And I know
that one day
this sad lament
will be mine.
