Behind Dizzy's Smile

Listen to poem:

He took care of his ailing wife Mary was so young Faithful by her side Fearing what his life Would be without her Needing her to hang on Get better – she tried It wasn’t meant to be Dizzy fell to the deepest bowels Of anger and despair A burning pain imbedded in his heart Inconsolable till the momentous night Mary visited Dizzy in his dreams Since then Dizzy shines with an unworldly smile And a new resolution to make each day count As he waits patiently for the glorious day He reunites with his Mary AP: Honorable Mention 2020, 1st place 2021 Submitted on August 16, 2019 for contest BRING A CHARACTER TO LIFE sponsored by RICHARD LAMOUREUX

I've read several contest stories, and most of all I liked ones that were far from the author's narrative. I thought that's what he wanted, I mean, the author, not Dizzy. No one cares what Dizzy wants. As usual. Congrats, Line)

This is more often the case than not when the dreamer is open.
