With the passing of my children’s father <br />I wondered if indeed there was life after <br />Sad thoughts sought to find a familiar figure <br />Seeing only sympathy cards and a floral mixture <br /> <br />I am inclined to believe that the dead are able <br />To make their presence noticed via cable <br />Ok readers, I see raised eyebrows with stares <br />Think that I am quite daft and in need of care? <br /> <br />Oh, I am teasing a bit…but not completely… <br />Flashing without a remote, very discretely <br />The silent television turned on then disengaged <br />Not once, but twice in succession… as if staged <br /> <br />Could have explained it if there was a power outage <br />The overhead lights did not flicker or lose voltage <br />My son and I both witnessed the strange display <br />Was Dad playfully passing by… but could not stay? <br /> <br />2/11/08<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pausing-to-say-goodbye/
