She had heard it again that morning. The death knell.
She was sure only they would not hear of it!!
At her age she KNEW.
Eighty-five! You know everything by then! They were convinced
it was the church bell. She knew it wasn’t.
So more pills, more doctors, more treatment.
She would have to live through another day.
She who knew everything,
She who had seen everything,
She who had wanted to live no more.
She who knew god was calling….
She was going to live through yet another day.
“Eighty-five is not an easy age”, she sighed.
