The Dinner (poem) by William Bonilla on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on June 5, 2008

Smoking killed my Tom too and he would not listen to my pleading for him to stop either. Your father did go to his rightful place and heaven and you have the good memories of the fish and the dinners you had with him as I have the same memories of Tom. We were blessed when they were alive and have to feel blessed since they left to go to a better place. It's hard to go on but we do and make it without them, but they will be waiting at that pearly gate to see us enter with them when our time comes too. That makes me feel better just thinking about what a wonderful time that will be.

It's something how things can be somber and sweet at the same time. We need our memories of the happy times, but they are always mixed with the sad ones. Wonderful sensitive write William...
