Book III: To Break the Silence
Chapter III: To Safer Places


Dear Jackson

Dear Jackson

Don’t ever forget my love

I do this for you more than for me.
We were so very little
You more innocent than me.

I still see your beautiful eyes,
Dancing, still light & joy there,
Mine already gone.
I’m so sorry Jackson,
Little 5 year old boy.
Your memory
Will be made immortal now.

DON’T EVER FORGET LOVE.
