THE MOMENT

A chill washed over her as she saw the amount of people gathered.Where had all these people been when she needed them the most?to one end of the grounds stood her father.What could possibly be going through his mind?As he looked up their gaze met,he paled and he wet his lips nervously.Her throat was tight with tears she swallowed them and looked  away.

The moment had come,the moment she dreaded the most, it all seemed so faint she thought her heart had stopped,as the Minister bellowed"dust to dust,ashes to ashes" Looking down the hole watching as part of her life was torn from her, hoping that her end would be next.She broke down and let out a loud moan and her cry filled the cemetery as tears streamed down her face............
