Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is grief in honor of those who have died of
Covid-19 and of Memorial Day, which is celebrated in the U.S. on May 25th.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A thank-you poem to deceased parents from the couple to whom
they have left their son:
Thank you for leaving us your son.
He gives us the gift you gave to him.
Although we cannot hope to salve his grief,
Nor fill his cup of joy back to the brim,
Know your flame of love has been passed on.
Your love for him will help our love along,
Out of pain his happiness to win
Upon the sweet green fields of our belief.
