what is
a day
split
into
life and
death
loss
asking
why
does not believe
how can a good God
take her son
and let so much pain
happen in the world
anger
and pain
have their way
with her
i visit
a careful
dance
to
understand
listen
and hope
to visit
to dance
again

A LITTLE SOMETHIN' 
On Christmas Day, we spoke briefly by phone with our family friend who is dying of cancer. There was spirit in his weakened voice. Such a truly good man reduced by the cancer physically but not spiritually. My sister has been taking care of him. I read this and thought instantly, you might have written it for her.
You are a good friend. To listen, to understand, to hope. And then to visit again.
oh, Nancy ,I do hope this isn't something a friend of yours is going through.

This does sound as though it is written from a life, as Glynn said.I pray this life finds peace of mind and heart.
a most difficult kind of day of long duration …
Maybe one day we will know the answer.
This sounds written from a life.
Deep questions, expressed clearly, where togetherness and time spent may be the only real answer. Nice poetry.
it is a hard day…and those are tough questions…but i too hope she finds that someday…
a day split into life and death…i like this and sometimes there are no easy answers to our questions..
