Pain Dissolver

I took the magic pill of life -
My gran and dad were 'live again;
I woke next morning with my wife:
The magic pill dissolved my pain.

sorry to hear about your wife jack! I like the idea of a pain dissolving pill - one that worked and you never had to take another pill again... good luck in the contest :)

oh my, you put it personally and I think it is one of the BEST I have seen in his contest. So much better than my stupid sonnet I wrote. I hope it scores high, my friend and I hope you recover from the emotional pain. Luv, Andrea
