Rest Now

The sky clouded over And engulfed his little soul On that rainy cold grey day You couldn’t see the tears On her face for the rain As she lay her child to rest In that old dreary cemetery On that cold dark cloudy day She put her child to sleep Under that twisted maple tree serene breezes still softly serenade their comforting soothing lullabies AP: 2nd place 2020 Submitted on September 17, 2017 for contest POEMS THAT PAINT A PICTURE 2 sponsored by SILENT ONE - RANKED 3RD Submitted on August 20, 2017 for contest COVERED BRIDGE sponsored by CRAIG CORNISH

At least I won one out of two. Effort and wins do not go hand in hand but I'm sure you've already figured that one out, Andrea. LOL
