Thoughts for you to see – never to be sent –
about the relationship between parents and son.
Joyce and Bud Lissimore
Tender miracles should await
compassionate forgiveness, – your fate –
your son’s need and need to state,
if he is to take wing, be set free
of all that binds his spirit, his soul
to that forest - he cannot see the tree.
To see all that hides, you do not know
of all that is meant, that does not show.
Left in the darkness with nowhere to go.
Lost experiences, experiences never to come.
Lives apart, moments without sum
add up to life without your grandson.
Pride dominates, and a world of grays
will fill your days without the feel of son
without the experience of a warm sun
as you end up living nothing but gray days.
