The sun was bidding farewell to the day
The clouds were hovering over barren land
A chilly breeze caressed the leafless trees
The air was filled with an uneasy peace
A woman by the window stood forlorn
Her glance was sad, her hair was silky white
Her deep blue eyes had lost their youthful glow
She silently watched the traffic come and go
A car approached and stopped by the road side
A child began to appear from the rear door
She gazed, her heart picked up its pace
She recognized the child’s protected face
The girl removed her mask, displayed a smile
I miss you grandma, I love you so
The old woman waved unable to reply
In longing silence could only watch and cry
