Are you bigger in your absence
than your presence could command
Is your memory that much stronger
than your being when at hand
Does the legend of your fancy
stretch the truth of what you’d done
The imagined and embellished
—a false legacy becomes

It may well, be a false legacy but when my wife passed recently she became a bigger part of my memory.

Sorry for your loss, Andy.
God bless!
Kurt
hindsight often has the luxury of relaxed perspectives, that the turmoil of existence in the now -between one hurdle and the next bite of sustenance we must hunt - doesn't allow,
so naturally we are flawed creatures but that undeniable truth, of yearning to be the best we can be, has merit in its own right I think
so we must accept and appreciate ourselves, before others can do the same for us
engaging writing, asking necessary questions
Thanks L.B.
