Tough one.
Losing a child must be the greatest test of faith.
Glad I\'m not religious.

A fine write N. How are the buses in Ireland? lol.
Oh no, a bus service is soon to be withdrawn near our area. No difference? It never arrived anyway? lol.

How beautiful, natural nature is and how though it changes it remains unlike some relationships that come and go and are as ethereal as a mist. Well written my friend with most beautiful imagery

What a beautifully painful poem, Norman! Its restraint and emotional honesty honor the complicated reality of grieving someone with whom much remained unresolved. I have known that mixture myself...and you capture its lingering ache with tremendous sensitivity. Powerful work, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

One day it will be our turn to receive such respects. In a way we can envy Tom Sawyer at his own funeral for obvious reasons 🙏🏻🕊️

Wow, Norman! This is such a tender and heartbreaking portrait of bereavement. Life continues its ordinary rhythm while the bereaved remain surrounded by reminders of someone who departed far too quickly. Quietly devastating, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, this is one heck of a poem. Tenderness and raw desire collide beautifully here...proof that time may alter the body, but it cannot erase what the body remembers. Wonderful write, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Norman you have outdone yourself on this one setting the mood with a beautiful haunting setting, careful use of metaphor and a good rhyme have created a haunting mood. I particularly love the rhyme flow and symbolism of the following part:
\"The dripping tap
Keeps steady pace
The chair back keeps
Perfumed lace in place\"
The ending as well is a haunting line.
\"A quiet room
That contemplates
The watching moon
Its rays to touch
The wooden floor
Where your footsteps
Walked before.\"
A fave my friend

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Wow, Norman, this is one deeply haunting poem. The winter landscape becomes almost unbearably human…cold, tearful, and abandoned beneath a sky that witnesses everything but intervenes in nothing. Brilliantly devastating work, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

My wife followed christianity for all her 80 years but where was it when she suffered from dementia, that is when I dismissed organised religion. I can totally understand your words Norman.

Norman, this absolutely broke my heart. No parent’s unbearable grief should ever be burdened further by tidy religious explanations. Devastating poem, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
