Never---------Is the Right Time Exit------Stage Left
From tots barely walking unaware of life’s fears.
To the rich in spirit and full of years.
A bright torch, now extinguished……results in tears.
For blood, friends, and neighbors raw unchecked emotions surface……love, guilt, hate, anger…it’s a varied toss.
Realizing you will never contact, hear, or see your loved one again, only deepens the emotional loss.
Do what you gotta do, to make it through.
Forgive yourself….if need be seek professional help, beats wearing a strait jacket long sleeved.
To the living of dearly departed matriarchs, mothers, women rest assured; “A lady always knows when to leave”…..
