tim's Bits and Pieces - 87. Chapter 87 A Goodbye

For my father-in-law.

It’s late and i’m sitting here

Sleep just won’t come

You’re on my mind

 

In a few short hours

I’ll see you

Maybe for the last time

 

Thoughts of life

and death

Drift through my head

 

We were dealt different cards

You and me

But you took me in

 

Loved me like i love

Your son

i’m grateful for these gifts

 

Things are just as they were

Ceaselessly

The world turns

 

The glass edges of loss

Will dull in time

As we mourn and miss you

 

Nature’s cycle will continue

You shall become dust

Forevermore

 

 

***

It's been awhile since i could write anything ... but i need to say goodbye because it maybe my last chance to. Thanks for reading.

This is a sweet, poignant piece, tim. I love it, though I hate the reason for the inspiration.

People will leave us through no choice of ours or theirs, but what a gift - to have those who love us near at the end. you've shown respect and love for your FiL and for all those who value him.

It's all we can do in these times.

you both know where I am if either of you needs anything.

Thank you, Wayne. i'm grateful for your support and friendship. ❤️
