Thinking About the Unthinkable

Sometimes as I watch others go through times of great struggle and loss I try to imagine what might be going through their hearts and minds. This is one of those moments.

Farewell

He stood alone

Having rushed the others away

It was time for him

To say goobye

She was taken

Away too soon

The battle all too brief

Leaving time only to grieve

Removing his coat

Casting aside the tie

The first shovel

Releasing his heartache

Sweat soon

Mixed with tears

And a man who never cried

Buried the best part of himself.
