Temporary Sherry

Temporary Sherry

written by: Judge Burdon

 

The diamond in her wedding ring has lost its glimmer
Gone is the sparkle that once danced in her eyes
Left with a basket full of dirty laundry
Every memory a thief that has robbed her smile
She stares out the kitchen window
A future of muffled thunder in broken skies
Her conversation with silence disrupted
By the sound of the baby’s demanding cry
