More in Open Door

vii. Father: Courage & Dreams

in his father's old brown eyes
he could see no fear at all
of death or dying

only the reflections of his family
and their dreams.

talk of burden
of blessings
of boyhood
and brotherhood

then

a simple thank you.

the only tears
between them
were the condensation
of love and peace
where family is.

These are all lovely pieces, but I'm particularly drawn to this one.  The last stanza is very powerful - i'm sure we all hope to make that last journey with such dignity and grace.
