me this little guy--

a father wanting

a son and he

came into our lives

at nine knew I was the one--

.

the memory

of this little kid

grew up--

muscles enlarged

brain gorged on facts

body running slick.

 

You surprised me

in your own decisions

good ones they

were – satisfaction came

for you

now loss of life and

gone away.

 

(for Scott E. Provencher 1967- 2020)

Thank you, Celticman for your insght. When I had the privilege of being Administrator of a Home for the Aged in Petrolia, Ontario, I learned so much in six years there. And about how memories were so meaningful to our residents.

A sad side of life, so many were not aware of.
