Words from Beyond the Grave ~ Wednesday, 7 February 2018

Son I send you these words
from my little tin box
at the cemetery

Your older brother knew
to take care of family
parents wife and children

Mistake number one came
when your mother gave birth
to you our second son

Mistake number two came
when we let you marry
outside the Church scary

Entering into vows
without the Church to help
you decide your fortune

Take your brother as prime
an example of faith
unlike my young villain

Rui you were my son
you did not come to say
goodbye so we are done

Your sense of duty lacks
sense is utter nonsense
and amounts to nothing

Mistake number three came
when you divorced your wife
if it were opportune

Indeed as you insist
to disassemble love
why didn't you return

Reasonably the Church
would annul your marriage
without children to speak

Rely on your parents
to show Exhibit B
the fact remains you learn

On your own terms you choose
to see only mistakes
others make like a freak

Ready to question all
but himself your marriage
your life not mine so sing
