Your Dying Spouse 624 - Memorial Day

If you are able,

save them a place

inside of you

and save one backward glance

when you are leaving

for the places they can

no longer go. 

Be not ashamed to say

you loved them,

though you may

or may not have always.

Take what they have left

and what they have taught you

with their dying

and keep it with your own. 

And in that time

when men decide and feel safe

to call the war insane,

take one moment to embrace

those gentle heroes

you left behind.

Friends are everything. I couldn't have done it.
