A Lonely Ledge

A Lonely Ledge There always appears to be a lonely ledge We will reach before going over the edge It really may not be obvious or clear cut So ask how, when, where, why and what. In progression, try to answer each word Listening to way they have been heard Which must importance be placed upon And was it actually, deliberately done. What evolved and eventually did realize Was things in this world may antagonize Now hard may have become your heart Separating and splitting you all apart. How can we forever feel comfortably? And full of happiness with jubilee When a tragedy recently passed by To forget it how hard we all did try. James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran There are always those things such as tragedies to mar everything.
