Time
Time heals everything.
People my age
should never experience this once,
let alone 4 times.
Be understanding, God
wanted to take them for his own reasons.
They were wrong.
Time never got easier,
It never got any easier with each
funeral seeing someone
the same age as you, lie in a casket.
It was something I shouldn’t have
seen til I was much much older.
But by the age of 19,
I’ve seen it 4 times.
3 DUI related car crashes, and one
shot by his father.
4 candle lightings, 4 different anniversary dates,
1 simple neck tattoo,
to keep my boys always with me.
They were wrong.
Time didn’t heal a thing.
Good use of numbers in this piece I like that. The tone is clearly established and has a powerful message. I think your breaks are done really well.
