Death of an Adult Child

The Death of a Child is an experience every parent dreads yet some must bear.  Whether the child is young or old the pain is ageless. The poems in this small collection reflect the flickers of light that reach that dark place.They will resonate with anyone who knows what love feels like.

There are nine poems in this chapbook. Here is the first:

Questions to which there can be no answers

For the foreseeable future

When your road ran out

Did it end in dense fog or open

Onto a bright sun on the shore

Of a blue-watered ocean? Were

Old friends waiting? Will you be waiting

For me? Or perhaps, as I sometimes feel,

Have you never left?

Death of an Adult Child is available as a chapbook from Amazon or directly from the publisher, Cyberwit
