parallel thinking

it is easiest when the child is young
there is hope, forgiveness and much
love. the future hurts to see. i often
shield myself from it. i often will it
to disappear. and i often ponder his
magic and will power to live so in
the very moment life is - i love my
son and i am given these moments
to shed the grief we will all feel each
moment of every day when we are
gone and the child no longer a child
is left alone. and that is why man
across the sea - why it is so vital to
believe that this is nothing more
than a very long wait to what we
shall become across the sea - it is
there we will wait and you will meet
him.
