In the back of his mind,
but not too far back,
Bones always had the idea
that he would die young.  

Somehow
he could not picture himself
as a grown man.  

He never looked forward
too much.  

Oh yes,
he had his dreams
and wishes
like any other child,
but somehow he knew
he would never attain
his dreams.  

Indeed,
he was clairvoyant
about his future.  

On the night of his murder,
he felt that he would
not return to the hood,
to his home.  

He knew it.  

Bobby

It's good to know Bones had his dreams too, though fate reserved him a different outcome ... intuition is a big part of our existence.

How strange, dear Bobby, I was interrupted right in this moment while replying to your post. My husband brought an envelope from Switzerland ... I held it in my hands and had a very intense intuition ... I thought about my uncle Paul ... maybe he has gone Home. Yes, it was that. May he soar back Home into God's arms in peace and joy ... maybe also welcomed by Bones, who knows.

Strange ...

Love,
Margherita

Thanks dear Margherita,

Yes, that is strange indeed.  I think that all intuitions happen by chance.  After they happen, they are immediately identified as "intuitions".

I'm sure your Uncle Paul and Bones will get along very well.

Love Bobby

I think most people know these things, some just don't admit it.

Thanks dear Ida,

You may be correct.  I'm still at the stage where I expect to live forever.

Love Bobby
