| Broken Bough When joy of childhood hearts is stolen And branch of tree is cruelly broken, A lifetime scar is deeply born, No time can heal the loss love mourned. Hands reach out after years apart And tenderly touch the scars of heart, An effort to ease the tears of pain And loss of time ne’er regained. A parent’s loss, a childhood heart, Never again to be torn apart. Dedicated to Cristin, Adam, and Jackie Dee Copyright © 2003 Patricia Dempsey |
