My Curtain

If someone you love is going through a dark time, be patient, listen and be there whenever they need support.  Words written by a beautiful daughter and wonderful mother.

My curtain was drawn,
My face forlorn,
As I hid myself away.

A wretched soul,
No hope, no goal.
Trying to exist each day.

A shred of light
To make me fight
From your patient, paternal loving.

Words of the wise,
Opened my eyes,
Gentle, kind, no rushing.

Until one day,
I could safely say,
My curtain opened wide.

My old self revealed,
Able to feel,
Thanks to both, and the love you supplied.
