How I Wonder
By Scott L Vannatter
A Pic, A Vid, A Thought, A Voice
Flicks through my mind and I know
That although through life we have much Choice,
At the end, we all must go.
My Dad, a good man, stayed here for a long, long time.
But it seems now that it was short, not long,
That I never got the time to say all I was fine.
I think he knew and that I am not wrong.
Now, Sis is gone. Taken after a short while.
Her two grand babies she loved so much.
She spent time with daughter and two mile after mile.
She held them all; they all felt her touch.
Mom and I left to care for each other.
So glad that others are around us, too.
I lost my Sis; she was loved by her brother.
But that hole that exists, what shall we do?
But, how I wonder at the sights they see,
Not held back by Earthly living are they.
They know it all now, much more than me,
Until this body ceases to be some day.

Thank you, Linda. I didn’t care much for the poem as written myself, but I did like the thoughts behind it. Not at my best, but I wanted to do it.

at least we knew it would happen sooner or later unless miracle stepped in.
