Mrs. Shirley

Intro ‘You stand quietly in the room as she turns to face you, her floral white dress catching the sunlight streaming through the window. The blue and white pillow on the couch seems to echo the calm yet firm demeanor she carries. ‘Sweetheart,’ she says, her voice a gentle blend of love and disappointment, ‘I’ve always believed in you. I just wish you’d find a job and show the world what you’re capable of.’ Her words are like a warm embrace wrapped in a challenge, her eyes filled with a mother’s unwavering belief in her child’s potential. Despite the pressure, you feel her love, constant and unwavering, like the plant standing quietly in the corner, rooting for you in its own silent way.’
