A poem
Waiting patiently
For a glimpse of faith
An unseen empathy
She learns to wait
Each passing moon
A body grows tired
No mention of concern
Or signaled desire
Are you proud
Left to wonder
Where did I fail
For one day
Her mother may love her
Another new moon
Crafted wonder
Immeasurable void
Disregarded existence
Days grew to years
A decade lost
The numbing friend
She learned to accept
Love without return
A heart patiently burns
Forgiven void
Unlocked chains for one
A heart remains broken
With hope for her mother
Patiently waiting
Love was once there
If not for her daughter
Would anyone care
Three decades passed
Whispered despair
