A mother's grief
First attempt to write a limerick
There once was a man below the roof
who had lost all of his younger groove
He wished upon a star
to erase his old scar
And a flash thought this was his last move.
.
His mother an older woman now
stood in shock behind her own window
no more breath she could take
and her faith took a break
for the flash her one god had to show
.
Her young son, one of three, left for good
never be seen in the neighbourhood
his mother, very old
froze without being cold
and sadness would be her new found mood.
