A desperate clock


She sits waiting

Like a desperate clock

She waits, for something good

For some good news

But that doesn't come

 

She sits waiting

Her life flashing before her

Her children struggling with this

 This fight, her fight wih cancer

 

Its flashing by

So quickly as

She is still desperately waiting

Like a desperate clock
