Soon Forget But Not Others

Soon Forget but Not Others

For Vinson (Hope I spelled it right.)
Or is it Vincent like Gene.

Some things forget but others never will
And big void in our lives they always fill;
Love and marriage and death and dying
People praying to God and then crying;
Many images of them do remember still.

Jim, I think you are right. The big voids will almost always be there unless other people fill them. So there we are, so vulnerable...

Oh horrors. A tabloid about a void. Sounds like a medicine commercial on TV.
