A Villanelle

What duty must a daughter give
When life has left one that’s adored
And onerous grief holds her captive

Hope burns like a waning votive
Each day cuts like new-forged sword
What duty must a daughter give

For love must one eternally live
Feelings carefully, secretly stored
And onerous grief holds her captive

Heart of hearts must learn to forgive
Guilt and rage into flagging spirit poured
What duty must a daughter give

Be good, be present, be attentive
To duty and family be forever moored
And onerous grief holds her captive

Bonds of blood can drain like a sieve
When the healer, the supporter goes ignored
What duty must a daughter give
And onerous grief holds her captive
