gazing at a picture
taken years ago
you dancing in apron
a holiday meal
among family
many of whom
are gone like you
it’s hard
holding back tears
knowing never to see
you dancing again
or singing off-key
those Italian songs
echoing in a house
no longer mine
A wonderful poem. My chapeau is doffed and my bow is deep.
Thank you, Jim. I bow back in acknowledgement.
That’s just one more of those ‘I wish I’d written that!’
Thank you, John.
