Poem
A Family home stands empty dust has gathered where once the surfaces gleamed silence, no voices and laughter now greet as in times now gone. The day has arrived, dreaded, put off for so long Parents passed within weeks of one another three Sons gather, the task before them a sad one they stand arm in arm giving courage to one another. Front door opened, the house greeted them with eerie silence they stand in their own silence; it was going to be a long and sad day personal belongings gathered and placed in bags what to dispose of, oh so sad. Bedroom drawers when opened, had their tears flowing each item held and treasured as each Son relived their memories letters are found then opened, love letters to Mam from Dad the contents are read aloud, occasionally stopping to control sobs. You walked past my home and smiled a smile that made me glow, hello and hi, first words spoken sitting on a front garden wall and talking, smiling at each other's stories. walking with you holding hands, I felt so proud. With each day that passed. my feelings for you grew stronger smiles that soothed me when sadness was all around me your eyes so brown and dark, always showing your feelings I could listen to your voice forever. Engaged, with little changing in our love, except for becoming stronger choosing the ring was a marvellous time, the choice was yours you knew the one and pointed it out, it has stayed with us together Our times on a motorbike, your arms wrapped around me. You enjoyed our times when you became my motorbike chick Marriage beckoned we answered the call the church our friends and family, memories live with me forever Three children, you brought into our World. True love for them and each other, made them grow even stronger your strength in dealing with worries always reassured Our home made enjoyable because of your presence you always knew when your laughter was needed. We are now in what is called the twilight of our lives together praying and hoping that when the call comes, I may lead I love and adore you, my true love forever silence continued to rule the home. Letter placed on the keepsake pile that was growing larger Finished, the Boys all agreed and walked out the front door a hand held the doorknob having trouble closing the door the others came to the rescue, three hands joined as one Once Children, now grown men with Families leave the scene.
