OUT OF SIGHT

nephilim56 ( Norman Dickson)

She attends
The church service
In memory of
The dead
Even though
Her husband
Cruelly taken
So long an empty bed.

The children
Now grown
Babies of
Their own
The mortgage paid
Money in 
The bank
But her heart is cold.

She works
Though doesnt need to
It gets her
Out the house
Were all her dreams
Are in a closet
Packed away
Out of sight.

        I saw a comedy film. Some joined the Foreign Legion to 'forget'. One said 'Oh, I forgot what I came here to forget!' lol.

        • nephilim56 ( Norman Dickson)

          • orchidee

            In that case he need not have joined the Legion, if he already forgotten what he intended to forget. lol.

              but what if he remembered later after not joining ? lol

              • orchidee

                Heehee. Could be similar to double negatives, e.g. I'm not doing nothing - meaning I am doing something.
