Heaven's Hero?
by
Susan Sheehan

My hero died in Heaven.
My love flew to the skies.
My joy and hope evaporated.
All temporarily.

Yet, what happens in these pivotal,
in-between moments
is the cause of so much
that we don't fully realise.

And now,
and sometimes,
I think it is just too late-when we do.

Eiken:
Shoshanna, this is beautiful and really though provoking and I agree that it may be too late when we do realise. We need to love now not later. Maire x
