Notes About The Poem

Fading Paper Dolls

Fading Paper Dolls

Slowly leaving things out, 
important and then, 
not so much. 

Angry people that believe 
they are slighted, 
or given less value, 
found wrong...
as those closer
get lost as well. 

Getting older, 
accidents or fate...
our memory, 
our remembrances,
our lives, 
the sum of...

Taken to heaven,
 in our hearts,
 if not fully remembered,
 in our minds.
