They pulled into the yard,
with that long black car.
She nodded her head
and then she said,
I just need a little more time.
Without a word
they stepped out of the way
folded their hands and
bowed their heads
She whispered soft
words only for him
I’m not quite sure
but I think she said
I just want a little more time
She left the room
as they carried him out
I followed behind
but stayed out of her way
She grabbed a broom
and swept invisible dust
faster and faster,
until the floor was wet.
She swept and wept
but couldn’t sweep
the hurt away
because…
All she wanted was a little more time.
YOUR THOUGHTS?
I'd love to hear from you, pray
for you.
