The years passed quickly
Each one faster than before
Hours flew by
Soon there would be no more
She toiled very hard
Working on the land
Her face was wrinkled
Rough were the palms of her hand
Her husband passed on
Children moved away
She now treasured every moment
Every single day
Old fashioned was she
A woman of pride
Always told the truth
Never did she lie
Could not understand
How things were so rearranged
People so different
The world had certainly changed
She walked the path
Of the righteous …always eager to please
Prayed every day
Down on her knees
She was often lonely
Missed her family and friends
Still she appreciated life
And would till the end
She knew the day was coming
To unburden her load
She knew that soon
Would be the End Of The Road
Thanks very much Sally Omar :)

Exquisite slice of the old, desert vilages myfriend!
Fantastic shot. Perfect Tones for this shot. Great eye
such a lovely shot – the tones are just perfect (thanks too for your comment)
Wow, Sorin that is awesome. She looks like she is enjoying her walk. Love it.
Nice work; this feels like another time and place.
ahhh another familiar face….warm smiles…nice to see you and your work once again. I love the retro feel to this series.
Excellent rendition,Sorin.
Sorin, my friend, you have a wonderful eye. This image is emotional and soul fillling. Great monochromatic tones. The symphony of textures is superb. I love the composition. Her dark and stark clothing against the soft values of the background color is so, so gorgeous.The lighting emerges unto the image but directs no attention away from the subject. Love it. Bravo.
Such a deep idea, fantastic execution!
