A life unraveled, threads astray
A soul once full, now empty gray
No husband's love, no children's laughter
No home to call her own, no place to gather
Meanwhile, another lives her life
With children and grandchildren, rife
With love and connection, a family tree
A life that's hers, yet somehow seems to be
Yours, in dreams, in memories, in pain
A longing deep, a heart in vain
Yearning for what could never be
A life that's lost, a destiny
What to do? Find solace in the night
In stars that shine with gentle light
Seek strength in every step you take
And find your path, your own life to make
In self-love, in self-care, find peace
In every breath, a new release
You are more than what's been taken away
You are a soul, a life, a new dawn's ray
