For Her


I would do anything
that time permits,
her thinness wearing  on me,
wishing that clock would not tick so loudly
this head aching for relief
from thoughts that rise above the necessary
whispering...hurry.

The hugs hurt me more than her,
bones see-through in my mind
wishing I could shed some of my fat
and gift it to her, padding her in comfort
and leaving me a little less
for wear...hurry

No tears yesterday and none
until tomorrow when all falls back to me
and I am found cowering here
and there...sharing moments
fear showing its face, and the shivering
that walks my body is neither from the cold nor heat,
but from the rushing of thoughts
wishing for a time warp
or a miracle
or hope...
for the one who has
Faith as her middle name.
M

T’is a shame we can do so little at times
When we wish to do so much

I wish comfort and peace to both
She and thee

Oh Maureen,
This was so open and so genuine it shook me...write...do write and do know that my prayers wrap around you both.

You are finding some solace
in letting it out in the blue,
dear heart...your strength is a tribute
to the love you have for your family.

Friend~
This hurts ... and there is no balm for the heart-in-ache~
Love you and thinking of you and your Sis~

If there was something, anything I could do I would Maureen.
You are such a good sister and I feel the ache in your words.
