Souls

Family is all but gone A sad lost song Mothers brothers sisters Friends all gone Here I am alone Looking for a link The more alone The deeper I sink And why I ask For me What did I do To suffer such loss I fear a curse against My blood Has sunk my Family ties No one to protect Or be more wise Good by my dead Souls and family I wish it wasn’t so But when a soul Is called it must surely go

Nowadays I take issue with the notion that "they are in a better place" but the reality is, you don't see them talk to them hug them argue and fight with them. They are gone. The inevitability of it is just hard to deal with. Deat is a cruel reality. Sorry about your losses

Losses upon losses. My sister was the first to go at 50, then my mother last fall, dad last month. Just 4 of us left. Eventually there will be 0. Sad poem Kelli

So sorry for your loss , Tom. Lost 2 brothers 6 and 13 when I was 8. A grandfather a year later. 3 years ago sister 53, a year ago sister 62, my brother is in the hospital now. Death is an inevitable thing
