 Sorry about this one. I know it sounds like a suicide note, but it isn't. My son-in-law did die yesterday and I just had to write something. It is just my feeling that death is one of the milestones of time.

 

Time

 

Dad died.

His time, I sighed.


Mum died.

Not right, I cried.


Friend died.

His prime, I'm tried.


Mum-in-law died.

Sad loss, her side.


Sister died.

Too close, my side.


Dad-in-law died.

Long life, much pride.


Son-in-law died.

Oh shit! Sad time.


Time to write?

Time to grieve?

Time to fight?

Time to leave?


Time


Time


It's time.

There is something particularly disturbing about losing younger people, commiserations to you and your family.
