These tears that I cry
Are for you
Sheldon
To let you
Know that
You’re not alone
Oh Sheldon I never
Meant to hurt you
I knew you were
A child of wanting
But not necessarily
Hurting
I was on your
Side
Your alter ego
They couldn’t see
You went slower
They would of known
How much you
Really needed
But they couldn’t
Understand
Because they
Didn’t take the
Time to listen
Instead of 2
To shine
They only had one
So instead of both
The one who needed
Became their wanting
And that was their
Fix to a bird with
A broken wing
Oh Sheldon
These years
Are for you
Life’s meaning
Was never meant
To hurt you
But with hollow
Grounds to walk
There was no
Other choice
But to fall
Now the years……
It will be 63
Tomorrow
I have no more wants
I have made my
Life work
Daughter,and wife
A heart full
My only need
Is for my
Immediate
Family,
My brother
To know
That I don’t
have
A broken wing
Just a want for
A listen ear
Nicely done, Sheldon. Honest and Thought-provoking! 💛 Elizabeth

We are children of wanting, and there’s an ache here that I sensed as I read your poetry. I hope your brother listens to you and offers his attention. Regardless, dark thoughts are meant for another time. IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TOMORROW!!! Have a glorious time filled with love and laughter. ❤
