DAWN ANNA

This one I wrote after a good friend lost her first child. To Anna my dear friend, may your children be a blessing in this world just as you were a blessing in my life.

Sometimes life breaks your heart
But it never broke her spirit.
She lost the sight of life,
she lost the sight of her 'sun'.
Anna was deprived of the nine months of sunlight
she once found joy in.
Now is impregnated by a life filled with the burden.
She is tied off, from the nature of living
as though the mother of this earth would.
Anna lies there on her death bed,
But would she regain her strength?
Will she ever have the dead son-light
shine his rays upon her once again?

Anna grew with nature, but she never stayed green
She grew with only her reflection
a dazed mirror of her grandchildren...
The ones she would never have.
