Now Heavy the Years

The father lay dying loving son at his side All his life he'd been trying to be his son's guide The son lifted his eyelids now heavy the years That father had left him ~ a burden of tears

Such a difficult moment; we all go through it but even that can't make it better...only time slightly eases that pain. You take us into the moment and right into the agony of the human heart.

Wow. Did I really do all of that, as you recapped it? If so, that's quite a success then. Thank you. Thank you! Best wishes, Gershon
