Memoir

His birthday remembered
             Today.
Niece Jody posted his poem
            "Patrol"
On his Facebook page.
            Sadness
Creeps to the fore as I
             Remember
Thoughts I'd just as soon
              Forget;
Hanging over me,
               Guilt
Eats my soul like
                Termites
Macerate a
                  foundation.
I can't be myself
                  'til
I write it down; unadulterated
                  Truth
"they" say.
                   Fred;
"do it for
                    Yourself.
It's the only way----"
                     Catharsis.
(Take these Chains from my heart and set me free)
