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
