"Poem To Uncle Bill"
When My Uncle Died Nobody Cared
Nobody Cared, not even at all.  They didn't care
When He died Nobody even knew he was dead
But I did because I prayed and He Spoke To Me
The Days Went By, We Walked A Lonely Road
Together, He and I, He Was My Companion
In Life, In My HEart, and I Was Not Alone Then
When My Uncle Went To HEaven There Was Blood on the wall
A Bloody HAndprint on my berdroom wall, my own
The time i almost cut my toe off on a piece of sharp glass
It makes me so sad I remember his Vioce In my heart like Bubbles
Bubbles rising Up and Up in my heart like Joyful Champagne
We Walked A Long and lonely road that may yet never end
I have become his companion in a long and sadness filled story
pain is all around always and he Cries
it is the first time i have ever heard a man cry
he Cries in my heart and i try to get better
When My Uncle Died Nobody Cared
Some days i go walking along the seaside in my heart
there is no sea in this city but pavement and slabs of concrete
Cars come and go but not for me, i am imprisoned in this tomb
there is no escape for me and no hope left at all
In my heart i go walking by the ocean waves as they lap in and out
against the humid shores of my Being, like my uncle;s Voice
Coming and going like breathing in and out like panting or my heartbeat
I feel alone in this solitude there is noone there to comfort me
except my uncle's inaudible voice bubbling up into my heart
I pray all day increasingly more and more, until it is become qWho I Am
Loneliness seems the gentle ghost to my memory and I pray
I pray with all my heart and all my soul
I am terrified of dying i dont know whar happens to us when we die
Perhaps that is why i am so Sad Why I Cry and Pray All Day every Day
When My Uncle Died Nobody Cared
I Guess It Broke My Heart!
In Jesus' Name,
Amen!
