Notes About The Poem

Entry for The All About Family Poetry Contest: Sponsored by: Len Gasun  Date wrote 1st May 26

Once was Family

She was there 
       waiting
with the child;
she was, each day.

      He didn’t know;
                in isolation.

    He had killed
           paid the price
   now they do.
