Already a year since my brother, Frankie suddenly faded away.


Silent Sobs



In Barcelona,
Easter Day,
At the Spanish
Schul,

We lit a candle,
In your memory,

With tears
In our eyes,
And on our
Cheeks.

Seven times,
You prayed
The Kaddish,
For me,

With tears,
In your eyes
And on your
Cheeks,

As women
Can only
Sob, silently,
Silently.

It tears
The soul,
Intensely,
When there is
No voice
To your
Misery.

With tears
In our eyes
And on
Our cheeks.

Repressed
Sighs,
Eventually,
Rip,
The very fibre
Of your
Heart ,

With tears
In my eyes,
And on my
Cheeks.

And silent
Sobs,
Slowly
Wrench,
My gut.

your heart is the moving force behind your pen that writes of such sadness and such beauty of the love that must be when sobs are silent and endless. My sympathy goes out to you and your family. kathy

Our loved ones gone
Are beyond pain;
The pain is for
Those who remain.
