RIBBONS OF LOVE

Black her mind had once so felt,
when a mother's worst fear came into her life.
It is a reminder of her first child's grave
where so long she wept and grieved.

Husband's love, soothed and endured sadness,
only wearing black now for special occasions, but without the tears.
Still a ribbon is added to her white hat,
silent hugs for the precious heart lost,
that she'll never stop loving.
