WHAT WAS SHE THINKING OF...

What was she thinking of...
When she held your hands to walk
What was she thinking of...
When you gestured to her instead of talk.

What was she thinking of...
When the foods you so dear
One by one never left your plate
Strong teeth crunching bone, she longed to hear

What was she thinking of...
When she rubbed you down with creams
Skin once so thick, withstanding the cold
Not wanting to understand what all this means.

What was she thinking of...
When the little round face she grew up knowing so well
Had to master the pain mortal sins left behind
Still strength she sees, still stories left to tell.

What was she thinking of...
When she didn't want to think at all
Of losing a legacy that epitomized strength
Now she knows what she was thinking
She didn't want to think it at all.
