A deep and true meaning in this poem. Bringing the light on your message you wish to put across. Nicely done.

THAT WAS SO GOOD! Even with my little sister yelling in my ear I got caught up in all of the emotion that you wrote with. Thank you so much for sharing that with us! You are such a wonderfully talented writer...keep it up! 5/5 for sure!
~Jules

That was so touching, since my Grandfather experiences it too.

In shadows cast, they do persist
Like broken pieces, that don't belong.

Good way of putting it! Jpoet*
