I've been thinking of a woman I once knew
we were neighbors for a very short time
but I would have given my life for her
and cried myself to sleep many nights that winter
doing the bargaining and pleading thing with God
"Lord, take me
my babies are grown..."
She had three little children
and a brain tumor
and died when they were just this little
and I've been thinking of her
them
alot lately
It was this time of year five years ago...
girl scout cookie time
We bought girl scout cookies at our door from her eldest daughter...
then sat across from her at the funeral
her baby would be five now...
without the slightest recollection of his mom
and yet I a stranger
remember
somehow till this day
it still seems unfair
to me
Lord God
