A BAD DREAM

Today my usually happy life caved in!I lost my three grandchildren.Their mother took them away ...far far away somewhere up north.I won't see them for a bit or maybe NEVER I think.I want to express my feelings here on this blog now.

WHO TURNED THE LIGHTS OUT?

Who turned the lights out?

It is so dark

I cannot see your faces

No I cannot.

If I lit a candle

I might see you three

Would I see happy faces

Would I see sad ones

Who turned down the volume

It is so quiet

I cannot hear your voices

No,I cannot

If I listened a little harder

I might hear you three

Would I hear cheerful voices

Or would I hear woeful tears

Life is full of changes

Changes for the good

Changes for the bad

I wonder yes,I wonder

What this change will bring

I need to go on

And not linger on the past

I must not lament on those good old days

For tomorrow will bring a new day

All I ask is that

You three remember our happy days

Remember that there'll always be

A place in me for you.
