There were decades
Where it felt like years
Hours that felt like months
Minutes that felt like days

Each second feeling like

Rather filled by this twilight

Every morning welcomed
By puffy eyes within her face

Bit under the weather
Emotions all over the place
Silent in His presence
Tears doing the talking

For the longest time she smiled
Revealing the glimpse of her dimples
As a sound of a victory
Through the storm she made it
