Burn In Mine Eyne

.

           I thought of the pass of I
                        flooding 
                      your eyes
 
          your strong arms lowering
                    mine casket

              I thought of the daze
                          days
                  you would sigh

         Of the prose and rhymes of 
                        the me 
                  you would cast 

                       Yet here
                          now
                are my prayers to 
            Jehovah God Almighty
             In Jesus Christ name
                           to 
                 relieve the burn 
                   in mine eyne 




*Nathaniel my dear nephew...
  sleep peacefully ;
 *ya know, when Nathaniel wuz the young soul,
   he would belt out(what iz known now'uhdaze 
   az "Rap")wordz which housed from hiz dreamz,
   unto; the future, for what man he understood
   wuz sowing...though i'm not the fan uv the style,
   i listened intently to hiz werdz<-he know'd it ;)

Thank you my dear brother, for honoring my son Nathaniel and your nephew by way of this beautiful poem. I still can't wrap my mind around this, I'm still in disbelief.

Very thoughtful and probably difficult to write. But over all a fitting elegy.

yes, james. I live far from you. And I am happy because Utah has had no unusually cold winter. It's a fairly normal winter and now warming up. I sure hope things get better for YOU guys. I keep hearing some really horrible things about the weather in other parts of the world!!

Hi James Visiting your poems for the first time and was really touched by this expression of overwhelming emotions and the unfairness of having younger people pass away before we do. Well written elegy. Xx~Xx
