The Weaving of Love and Loss

 

 

Their Sweethearts and Their Darlings

By Mary Jane Hurley Brant

In Honor of

Mothers Finding Meaning Again

Nov. 28, 2019

 

The moon sighed

The day they died

Their sweethearts

And their darlings

 

The breezes fair

Mothers touched their hair

Their sweethearts

And their darlings

 

Their looks forlorn

For loved children born

Their sweethearts

And their darlings

 

Their heads swaying low

hearts sad to know

Their sweethearts

And their darlings

 

Their lives ahead

Briskly changed instead

For their sweethearts

And their darlings

 

No one to know

Secrets never to show

Their sweethearts

And their darlings

 

All the days to remember

From the crib to last ember

Their sweethearts

And their darlings
