"Although forgotten still we linger here"


Poem Artwork

Farewell My Child

I ask no more than this affinity
This small shared circumstance of being Lance
Proceeding from our consanguinity
Which leads us down the decades in a dance
Of life and death and what we wish ...or not

And as there is no luck there is no chance
Escaping haunting by what we forgot

Although forgotten still we linger here
Remembering despite ourselves we are
Within our flesh and blood and bone so near
While yet within our heart and mind so far

Farewell my child as you go run your course
My destiny as I remain your source

+Steven Curtis Lance

This is very profound Stephen. You take the reader in, and make him/her sit until they have finished reading your piece. And I also agree with Regis too, this piece does make the reader ponder.

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your sister, Barbie

Another one of your creations that is worthy of much more than a single reading, Stevie. Truly, it makes the reader ponder. Thank you for sharing this philosophical perspective. Love and peace to you,

Regis
