A MOVING EXPERIENCE
H. W. Bryce
As it appears in STORYWITS Magazine in Greece,
thanks to @Eva Lianou Petropoulou and team.
A funny thing happened
On the way to my new abode
Sorting papers
Nostalgia
Being tough—forcing myself
Me saying goodbye
Sorting, gathering
Box after box of photos
And I see her here
And suddenly I’m crying
How many goodbyes must one say?
After that final goodbye
And that after all those long, lone goodbyes
That series of goodbyes to the
Various personalities moulded by Alzheimer’s
And try as I will,
The more I get it together,
The more I fall apart.
So it’s goodbye, my love,,,
But never, really,
Thouigh I now go forward
With courage and expectancy
To new adventures…
Thank you, my love,
You moulded me well.
I shall do you proud.
Aw hell!
The more I get it togeter,
The more I fall apart!

Here’s a link to the magazine.
This should open up the magazine.
Enjoy. Say thanks Eva.
