Gone With the Wind

Gone With the Wind….. February 23, 2026

Goodbye family,
No more are we happily
Together.

Can God save a soul,
Or maybe,
My soul is on parole.

Twenty-three years ago today,
I went away.
Goodbye.

’Twas all gone with the wind,
Gone with the Schwinn,
Adios.

My soul was superfluous,
It was ridiculous.
Goodbye.

But then she died,
The kids cried.
Goodbye.

Is my soul
No longer on parole,
What’s my role?

But it’s all gone with the wind.
I can’t pretend,
It’s okay.
But try anyway.
No more yesterday,
Just today. TJM
