One Poem Farewell To Our Little Next of Kin
neighbors gather around as one
remembering a little Brother
whose life was cut too early done
Many a tear
His sparkle no longer shines bright
Missing a favorite grin that was
always a trademark in our little
corner of suburbia
Choking up and letting go
Asking,in front of a photgraph:
WHEN WILL YOU EVER COME BACK TO US SO?
Jack turned his back toward us
He didn't want anyone to know
That his sad eyes were making such a fuss
Nearest to my side
Catherine tried but could never fully hide
Whatever REALITY she was truly feeling
Happiness is a temporary moment
We are lucky with Grace
To share that minute with his face
Our Little Next of Kin
We know that the caretaker up there
will kindly take you in
GOODBYE
