On a Back Road Again

On A Back Road Again Have been on a back road again While I cannot remember when; God created great girl for me And sure was such a sight to see. Soon back road reached its end So this letter to her will send; Remember guitar I once had, Lost it one day and am so sad. Reminds me of my love I lost Around by her was being bossed; She never wanted to be my wife Went out and took her own life. How I wish it never did occur; It was I who God made for her, And am now unhappy every day Now that she has passed away. James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran

Reminds me of one I lost so many years ago. Though it wasn't his own doing . He was struck by a drunk driver throwing him from his motorcycle. I watched himdie in my arms. So this brought back those memories of pain and loss for me. As we were to be married . He had just proposed to me.my parents didn't even know yet. So I never shared that with them.

Bonnie, There just seem to be so many traumatic things happening everyday. Just received one of your poems on another website and was trying to make a comment. It sure seems hard to do. Jim

Jim, this poem reached deep into my heart. So emotional brought tears to my eyes. A 7 from me more if I could give it. Hugs Janet
