tombeau pour l'enfant
Margaret
I don’t regret this year
of joy and pain, the laughter
stilled by silence. Though
I cannot know, I hope
that Love loves you and you
love those who live unbroken
but broken, holding each other
because we cannot hold you.
Pray for me, my daughter,
my Pearl, that I live through
these empty years to find
my family always loving
and life less cruel than kind
G.M. PALMER

gm reported the death of his infant daughter last year on kirby's blog and there was a half hearted response of shared grief but we didn't real hear that much about it until just last week when he posted this poem...i guess he's a member of the german brethren church with some catholic leanings
anyway
he's quite a poet
