On cusp of losing yet another Does pain truly begin at birth When taught of death by loving mother Revolve the days of dying earth The drag of day on fragile lungs Dawn of cancer and smoldered leaves It bare's the weight on ladder’s rungs From up so high denial heaves Grandfather clock tick-tocks for you You wind it now, time ticks faster You are the blood of ancestor brew I am your son, you've known our Master My father's tethered to life machine Wandering dreams, he can't let go There have been hands to hold him unseen So long I’ve wished his spirit to grow Mother, Grandmother, up high, prepare Our Savior has made us a new life tree Through death, short-lived, I have despaired Father comes soon then look out for me [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 12-11-2000).] |

I am with you Walt...I know this pain...and I hold you in my prayers... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Beautiful Walt, absolutely beautiful "Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me." |
