Candice’s Demo – My Writing
Inspired by Let it Be
Some of Us
By Judith Pece
Some of us are stronger than others,
We do what must be done,
You will not cry in public either
When you have buried your love
Nine years after he has died
And you have tended his shroud
As you bathed and fed him
Protect him from thoughts
Disconnected from speech
He was severed in the instant
When too much blood
Or too little
Let all hell loose inside
his brain.
And they finally came to take him
When you could not keep him
Safe at home alone each day
That is when he really left me
You will push me away, too
The hug too painful for today
And stories from strangers
Who knew him when
Irrelevant not comforting,
I am not here to receive you
In this line for your sake
But we have traveled
And we gather
Tend to his adult children.
