children suffer with hearts torn
mourning the loss of parents
alive in body, yet dead
in mind, heart and empathy
as glasses clink together
and celebrations go on
children suffer with hearts torn

This was soooo profound and poignant. It read so well forwards and in reverse. Loved your poem!
Oof! This hits hard, no matter which direction you read it! You are gettting back into the swing of things in a hurry!
There you are, pal! This is beautiful...if sad and a reality for many. Hope you're keeping well!
Beautifully expressed!!! Emotionally upsetting!!!💕♥️♥️
