Wednesday's Woe
Overcome by "Weeds" in Grief
~by Tommy and Angie Prince
"Weeds" in our child's life took her life
as the driver of the crashed car was drugged.
Unable to kill the "weeds" in her life cuts like a knife:
Our daughter was killed soon after we last hugged.
Mowing the grass is now a chore since the day
the policeman dropped by, coming into
my backyard as I was mowing my grass
with the devastating words he would say...
We had burned our grass to destroy our weeds
so the yard was burned black like our hearts
as the people came by to do condolence-deeds
on the blackest day Heaven imparts...
A month to kill weeds,
Two weeks to till the dirt,
Then we plant the seeds,
All the while we hurt.
The grass came up so pretty
Just like once did our beautiful child...
Now with a summer of drought
Weeds overtake and destroy,
...Just as they did our child.
