the Unknown uncle

sO glad I FINALLY Met Him.

My next ”Fictitious” poem will be titled the unknown uncle

THE UNKNOWN UNCLE

It was in the year of 1967

When an uncle I barely knew was calledback home to heaven

I said back because my uncle died once before

I barely remember him but then again I was just four.

In the hospital room the doctor ordered everyone out!

The doctor was pointing get out of this room.

Then the doctor declared my uncle dead,

and that all happened very soon.

Mom later told me they shocked his heart back to life.

the other choice, was to go under the knife.

that’s all I know of my uncle unknown.

Ashamed to say, I have never visited his family or his home.

I’m not even sure if I remember his correct name.

I often wondered if he ever had Fame.

Today my grandpa was buried and I barely turned 13

An emotional time if you know what I mean.

all eyes were on his casket

In that cold open field.

Grandpa’s illness got him.

and from that he never healed
