A father ponders the meaning of the burial of his son ...
Mourning's Reflections Illusory strength... quivering knees. Witnessing ... irreversible finality. Near the edge ... swaying, clutching a moment's time more until words enough, this end a beginning, reality obscene. Linger intimate friends, voices hushed. Sobbing disbelief ... soon resignation, what choice ... really? Faith, Thou art with me, though alone I remain but a shadow of time before. A mound of earth returns to its void, last glance, turn to depart from this ground. Fading memory ... searching mind moments yet recalled.

The one part of life that no parent should have to be put through. Though life goes on the pain never goes away. Painfully passionate and very heartfelt....

Be always safe,
Karen

My three sons have died, and this poem reminds me of the day each was buried. It is as vivid as if it had just happened. There is a peacefulness and acceptance of 'what is' in this poem, even if it is heartbreaking.

God bless you. Kathy
