More than just numbers <br />More than just a period <br />of time <br />More than just seconds, <br />minutes and hours <br />But rather like a picture <br />or photo unfrozen in the <br />mind - colors shown in <br />both good and bad <br />Both caused me to cry <br />Not always wanting to <br />revive the facts <br />But why is it that the <br />pleasures are swept <br />away, while the bad <br />seem to stay? <br />Maybe, just maybe if <br />I keep on crying, the <br />tears will wash away <br />another 26 years... <br /> <br /> <br />'2008'<br /><br />Robert Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/26-years/
