There will be books ,documentaries, discussions and songs written about 2020
What it is doing and what it will continue to do to the lives of people
Many sentences starting with do you remember
You are one of Mother Nature's children now
Heard you during a thunderstorm and asked you to quiet down last night
Loud enough that it was booming and deafening
I have forgiven many things since last Monday when you were taken from us
There is one issue that forgiveness cannot be granted
You hated the love of my life when a parent should welcome and love them with open arms because they chose your child
He gave me his name and more love than a lifetime can hold
Yet, your other child's love was loved from the very moment he met you
He bought me a wedding dress never had a gown
The reception you denied me was a small restaurant that he paid for
His parents were ready to give us that party but we declined for all parents should chip in
She got the reception and the gown?
First born crushed again.
Even my wedding album was a gift from his cousin
October will bring our 40th wedding anniversary celebrated differently than we originally planned
Witnessed by many spoken about by very few unless confidentially
This I cannot forgive because the pain and heartache it caused and still causes makes for a suffering wished on nobody else
