Poem Commentary

This is in memory of the early night/morning that my Dad passed away.

One Lone Star

It seems like forever
That we have been waiting
Waiting for the Angels
To come carry him home

He was so tired from struggling
He didn't want to leave us
His body showed that struggle
It couldn't go on much more

The day was rainy and gloomy
How has he fought so valiant a fight?
We prayed the Angels come
Then went home for the nigh

Early next morning, the call came
The fight was over and he was at rest
The weather was foggy, but the rain had stopped
When we went to say goodbye

When we got to the home, I looked up
There shone one lone bright star overhead
No where else was there another star to be seen
We knew it was Jim-bo on his way home

Good-bye Jim-bo, we love you.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
