Hope versus despair...

I'm standing with a foot
in opposite rooms of my shattered house.
One room of hope,
The other of reality.

Scripture says that the opposite of hope is despair...
Doctors say that you only have a short time left with us,
Leaving me feeling confused by your general progress and alertness.

Hair no longer tinted,
Almost wrinkle free skin,
Shows your natural beauty
Making you the envy of many.

You're strong willed,
You're a fighter.
We're standing beside you holding your hand every step of the way.
We love you dearly, mom.
