Lucy Departs Poem by Tom Billsborough
Lucy Departs
Lucy now departs this life,
From a long dark tunnel into blinding light.
With trepidation but with faith and hope is borne aloft
To make her final journey in the waiting car.
Why did I linger on? Why wait? Why wait?
This is her guilt,
Not the fake marriage into which she was coerced.
But the betrayal of self for all those wasted years.
The door is open and Joanna
Waits to welcome her with smiles and tears
And Lucy yields at last to love,
At last obedient to her heart.
You have such a broad world in your heart, Tom. No bias and discrimination is welcome there. Compassion and understanding dwells in your soul and sets them to winging in poems like these. Love this, my friend. 10+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
