Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Art of Healing

My parents both age eighty two

Within the same week passed away.

To help my grieving I did do

A painting on a sunny day

Of Mom and Dad as they walked down,

Their arms embracing each other,

The Main Street of our home town,

Joy being with one another.

I painted them as though they were

Walking just steps ahead of me,

And then a wonder did occur.

They stopped and turned for me to see.

They waved to me, both Mom and Dad.

Suddenly I was not so sad.
