THE DATE

It's 6:30 p.m. she fixes her face, combs
Her hair.
He's meeting her at 7:30 p.m. A date, Ballet, Dinner,
And fun all in this date, promises,
She thinks of you as she stares at her face--
Your face--now her face, and wonders why?
Why were you taken away so quickly?
Could you not see your little girl now?
Your dreams for her have become Realities--
Your pain your longing for her happiness
Now fulfilled Mom...she's happy and
Free....
