Constance La France Poet Tetractys

Notes About The Poem

My Eternal Grief

 
Dad,
you died
far too soon.
I wanted years
to hold your hand in mine still warm and strong.
Doctors told me there was no hope for mom 
to let her go,
to stop care.
Still weep,
mom.

Andrea Dietrich November 5, 2020 at 3:45 PM Poignant one, Dear Heart. I see a lot of people choosing this picture. I may be one of the few choosing the dog on the sofa! Constance La France November 6, 2020 at 7:32 AM Andrea, thanks for the compliment, yes I imagine this is the popular image, I liked the dog on the sofa but as I never had a dog I would find that one difficult, I know you have had dogs and I imagine a beautiful poem for the contest from you _Constance
