My Uncle Jim

I didn't want to see him lieing there,
dressed in his best suit. He didn't dress
like that I said. He wore jeans and plaid shirts
that smelled of old spice and licorice.

I cried when I finally was forced up
on the predeu, he had these spots and no one
would tell me they were from the disease.
I thought he was in the process of shedding skin.

I cried again when they took him from the room,
where are they going? I asked quietly.
To the grave yard; I thought that must be like
a prison, or a dump for lost uncles. I miss him still.

Eira, It very well could be lying...My spell check in my brain is out of order, parts to fix it won't come in until the next generation. LOL. Yes children should be told as much as they wish to know, I still to this day don't like funerals because of this, and now all I can really remember of him is him in that coffin, with the big black ugly cancer spots.
Bev. thanks for reading.

Take care
