With a tip of my hat to folks like Guy Holliday and Lady Lorraine Hart, I turn my pen to poetry because it's been three long weeks of loss.
Passng By the Woods
This afternoon
I drove past
The woods where
Peter took his life.
Flowers
Left by the sign
A make-shift memorial
To someone
Who wanted
A permanent solution
To a temporary problem.
And my heart aches
For a soul gone
Too soon.

The line "A permanent solution to a temporary problem" says it all. If only they could realize it.
It is perhaps the most important lesson we can teach our children.
Wow...this is powerful.
To offer this clear look into your heart is a gift. I hope this nightmare ends.
I'm so sorry my friend...this is when the pen is a staff that holds us up.
Beautifully said, Lady Lorraine! I don't know what I would do without my love of writing.
As always, your writing blows me away! It's so special to discover a new side of a close friend. You have put into words what others feel in their heart.
