three fathers and one mother within a few years
first he lost the father of his heart, his uncle
then the biological father
then the one who adopted him as an infant
recently the only woman he knew as mother
all of them in challenging roles
bitterness, despair, his companions
now his decline threatening many
how can we keep from praying
thanking Heaven for all
such brave souls
beloved inner children
always divinely embraced
Mighty wings enfolding
here for our own unfolding
💚🙏
