Yes, I can write forever about you.
But pens run out of ink sometimes.
A poem every day.

217
Where is he?
He abandoned me here.
They take me outside and the leave me in the cold.
It's my only pleasure in the day.
I need someone with me.
Do you have any idea how lonely I feel?
Do you even know how alone I am?
Where is he?
In memory of 217.

I work in assisted living, and these are quotes oft repeated by a resident dear to me.

A man by birth
A hero by choice
He gave his life for another,
Saving someone at the cost of his own life:
Life for a life,
Brother for a brother,
Friend for a friend.

A young child waits for him to come home.

A man by birth
A hero by choice
A son now without a father
A family without a man
A brotherhood without a brother
A friendship without a friend
A death tears the world apart.

A death destroys all.

A man by birth
A hero by choice
A friend during life
A friend after death
He waits patiently
For friends and family alike to come home.
217
