A Swap Quatrain

She Sits Alone

by damommy

She sits alone, cheeks wet with tears,
while reminiscing through the years,
and thinks about how time had flown.
Cheeks wet with tears, she sits alone.
 
She’s had to face so many woes,
but never giving in to those,
came through them all with quiet grace.
So many woes she’s had to face.
 
To deal with life, she’s found a way
of seeing joy in every day
and minimize the times of strife.
She’s found a way to deal with life.
