A new year
I read in the newspaper that Connie, the person who wrote the letter about Shawn's website, died last week. Normally, I would not take pleasure in anyone else's death; however, this person was a constant irritation to my family and the primary source of anxiety to Shawn.

When Fathers Weep at Graves (Alice J. Wisler)

When Fathers Weep at Graves


I see them weep

The fathers at the stones

Taking off the brave armor

Forced to wear in the work place

Clearing away the debris

With gentle fingers

Inhaling the sorrow

Diminished by anguish

Their hearts desiring

What they cannot have

To walk hand in hand

With children no longer held­-

To all the fathers who leave a part

of their hearts at the stones

May breezes underneath trees of time

Ease their pain

As they receive healing tears

… the gift the children give.

Alice J. Wisler
