By the looks on the gentlemen's faces And how the young man in the background- paces I can just feel, their at one of those places You all, know...where I mean In that place, where you just want to scream In that place, where you just to wake up from a dream In the fields, their all gathered for prayer Wives comfort their husbands, in care As their husbands just sit, and just stare... At the sky, Wonderin' why... As they cry, And they sigh Saying "good-bye" To the guy On the fly Back When Poetry Contest Sponsor: Line Gauthier 2.29.2020

It is a very different world now. I can relate. My husband and I have a strong faith but no longer attend church. A great entry for the contest Charles. xxoo

I couldn't decide what this contest photo was all about. Your interpretation is on the mark--given the cries and sighs that evoke...wanting to say goodbye. All the best Charlie.

At first I thought perhaps they were watching an outdoor movie, but then at a closer look I realized it was day-time (lol). Thanks so much Vijay. All the best my friend :)
