Hugs,
Ethel

The title made me smile... the poem made that fade in pain and understanding. *S*

Ya done good, sweet nephew...

to be

we were

And that past tense can be the hardest phrase to speak. *S*

enjoyed your version!

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone though you're still with me
I've been alone all along..Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
