This poem !! so touching, breaks my heart too, not more than today,I had questioned( guiltily) the same Q the dying man had...it brought tears but thankfully, it brought me much more than tears..it brought gratfulness and Thanksgiving in May.Thankfulness of your talent, sorrow for the real life story of a man's life story, but awareness that God said, He is with us Always, even to the end of the World.
Thank You, and for your coments on my poem too! Glo
