so

first off

apologies for not participating last week those of you that read im sure will realise why

on to this week

unresolved with those involved

conflicted emotions, a love long dissolved

an unmourned death

a passing unremarked

no regrets from yesterday

no tears within the dark

no one knew nor noticed

non cared or cried

an absence marked by mere relief

no one knew that he had died

the death of a tyrant

his hold now long forgot

his only mark upon the planet

was the damage that he wrought

compelled to control

he drove them all away

his final companions ?

the mere shadows of yesterday

One Stop Wednesday

Once a boy upon my knee

I saw the man that you could be

Full of hopes and dreams that could

Full of promise, of things that should

But now i watch as you march away

and gone is the child of yesterday

Head held high, the past is done

A salute to the man my son has become
