Three brothers
born
beautiful boys
brown eyes
witnessing and holding
pain
unknown yet present
sorrow
no father
no thought
that life
could be anything more than
death
of freedom
prison for life
and life
taken
overdose
leaving behind
mom
of three
beautiful boys
witnessing and holding
prayer
known and present
sorrow
A Father
our Father
No thought
that we
my family
could be anything less than
life.
