Care, Taken From Her In Silent Peace Poem by Danny Draper

Care, taken from her in silent peace,
Discarded, bliss spent, unloved dross;
Only one remedy heart’s ache can ease.

Moved like a parcel as you please,
Betrayed by an uncle, gross,
Care, taken from her in silent peace.

Heart of a good man brought some release,
But to heal the enduring loss,
Only one remedy heart’s ache can ease.

Babies brought a settling breeze,
For them she gathered moss,
Care, taken from her in silent peace.

Secure in the shade of a family tree
She knowingly laid down her cross,
Only one remedy heart’s ache can ease.

Race run, terminated by disease,
All of life fought with dignity,
Care, taken from her in silent peace,
Only one remedy heart’s ache can ease.
