A memory of your eldest sister Janie's memory... Dark soulful eyes Staring into the past Watching ,listening ,hearing Remembering, as if today, The fateful day you left. Her brother Joe, Her mother's Joe, our Uncle Joe. 'He went to get away from home ', she said...... ..........That's all........ The pained, dark eyes resumed their stare..... Sad silence for a while, And then today returned, Though quieter than before.
