Love Poem: Gone

Gone

GONE *********

I am old now.  I try to forget 
All our faults, and for us, many memories
Leave of their own accord, especially
The worst ones, taking off in a run
To follow him?  To Neverland
And horrid pirates from whom
We tried to teach him to evade.
My mind now clouds.  Our hearts
 Mourn into the mist of tearful eyes...
His father and me...Left
Wondering where did he go?
Or just when did he die?
And might
 Blessings, or prayers, or angels,
Or Truth
Ever help to bring re-birth?

**********. 
———-END NOTE
PLEASE RE-READ.  I have left themeaning & questions open. BUT it is actually about our adopted son who disowned us without explanation at age 25.  At time of my passion of writing this he’d been gone without any word for two years.
