For Joe T. Abernathy and Family - June 2009

The Parting


His broken heart propelled him to her side
where he placed a lingering soft kiss on
her forehead remembering a lifetime love.

The attendants took her away solemnly
from silent tears and a helplessness of not
being able to change what had happened.

Separations had been few in decades of
the marriage, now contributing to his grief
and that total aloneness he never imagined.

It had been her wish and his that when
she was returned to him the mortal remains
would be the ashes of a wife well loved.

In recognition of her free spirited life and
a love of nature, family members cast ashes
on a beloved meaningful parcel of land.

You know how much this piece touched for my own reasons... 'Her free spirited life'.. and now she flies. I ran across something the other day and can't remember if I wrote it or someone else did.. but here it is...

May you seek new horizons
and touch new skies
Like ashes in the wind
may your spirit drift
and soar... and may you know
you are loved

much love, my friend...

Bill, I cannot begin to tell you how touching these writes of yours are. You write with such emotion, yet not in a sappy way, and that's something that I like.

Little River by Dadfire

Let this coming of age story of a boy named Bean take you back to a simple time. Set in a small southern town in the 1960's, encircled by a river and gleaming white cotton fields.
