Sentenced

She has mostly 3 months to live

but I have my misgivings

she'll claw her way back

into the land of the living

Said the obligatory prayers

even though I'm not there

not ever at her side

life is truly not fair

Gave up on family reunions

with that finger pointing crowd

who act so morally proud

minus countless indiscretions

Trying to walk a good path

never smoked a day in her life

while I was a walking chimney

at least, once upon a time

Used to see things eye to eye

never was really a scapegoat

how does she even cope?

sentenced with such limited Time

Sometimes, that's how it is.
A person may smoke for years, then quits.
They live for another 25 years, a non smoker...then, lung cancer.
I don't know why this happens.
All I can really say is,I'm sorry, and may you be able to cope.
