Freeing Anglewing Butterflies!
by Lori Blair
To see the period before the
end of that last sentence
and to know it isn't where
you want to be
That final wake after the
dream
where I can hear my youngest
crying
"Sleeping IS better than
dying!"
If only his tears could cease
the seeping setting sun
But I see you are tired of
fighting undone wars
And as Death sieves your
span between its hands
We perceive your fore roaring
of Twinjet skies
Freeing
Angelwing Butterflies!

| Posted by George Hoerner on 04/25/12 at 02:10 AM WOW Lori, my father died at 54 and now I have outlived him by far too many years. I was never really close to my father. He worked a lot and when he came home he was tired. I was 21 when he died. Take care lady. |

| Posted by James Zealy on 05/01/12 at 02:37 AM A daughter and her father, when they are close there is no closer bond. Your father left those angel wings on your shoulder as a constant reminder of him, and what he meant to you, not how he died. God bless Lori. |
