    "A Tear For Michael"

    Empty days and lonely sights,
    Flocks of birds in soaring heights.

    Gusty winds and city lights,
    Fading men in all their rights.

    Troubled hearts and perilous plights,
    A tear for Michael in darkened nights.
    Judith A Birdsong

    A very nice poem. Thank you. I like the style with which you write. We seem to be from the same generation. I don't think our paths have crossed before. My name is Kevin. I live in Maryland. You should really check out some of my works. Our writing styles seem similar. Read a couple of my older ones, Bouquet and Sue (A Cinderella Story). Then read my newer ones, in particular, The Paradox of Oz and Annapolis City Dock. I would really like to hear your opinion. Anyways, a nice poem. I liked it very much. Thanks for sharing... K

    Thank you for your kind comment. Michael heard me read this to him in my prayers. Michael was my alcoholic husband who went to live with Jesus some years ago.... I will rejoin him again someday.... God Bless You!
