    “The March”


    Today I was looking through some odds and ends
    of things that I brought from your home.
    The one that now sits empty since you and mom are gone…

    It’s going on three years now dad
    since you went away,
    the void you left with all of us just lingers day to day…

    Outsiders have no idea what damage has been done
    for our family threads, mom and dad
    Are coming all undone…

    They say that time will heal all wounds I’d have to say their wrong…it’s more like time keeps marching on
    moaning it’s death filled song…

    No respect for anyone, no regards for life
    No sorrow felt for those left behind
    Just deaths song of sorrow and strife…

    This is a great poem Debra expressing how you still feel the hurts and pains of those who moved on as time marches on - my sympathy goes out to all who experience this situation - but time will heal the wounds - when you apply the time in continuing to pursue life as if they are still with you - because in all honesty they are - you are an extension of your parents that still move forward with time - death has no sting - that have move on and expects you to do the same thing - they are fine they have no more hurts, pains, and sorrows - except the perils you are in - so with that said - make them happy - by continuing with life as they so desired for you to do - giving your best to make all your dreams come true - and take care of their child while they are gone - they send you their love - not that you don't already have it (smile),...

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
