So Long As I Persevere…

The Gift
The Gift The old woman stood in tatters, Alone in the world, Lonely at heart, Begging for tidbits from the passersby, Her near and dear ones had left her, To the ravages of destiny. Her tiny malnourished body, Ached for a loaf of bread. Or why not a sausage? She asked herself. But she knew, […]
