Numbers

Eighteen misses and three survivors

Two broken marriages with one spiteful lost love

Two warring sisters and too many brothers

Numbers don’t always make the lives of another

Crocheted angels and heartfelt hugs

Gone are the days of each of those

Responsible, avoidant, and spoiled

Resentment, confusion, and miscommunication

Ghosts of the past

Harried, busy, and distant

Buy back the time

Patience, hope, and acceptance

Crowding the cast

Three lives play out creating six more

One life still here caught in time

One life locked in with ghosts of the past
