By Vernon T. Scott

Prose from a Soul Seeking Justice is a collection of poems written throughout the author's lifespan.

Middle and High School

Sorrowful Sunday

(unedited)

Sunday:

You ventured to the hospice near Doctors Hospital

We were sad because you weren't doing so well

I cried as I watched as your chest rose and fell

You said you didn't want to see us cry so I went outside

There were others who also cried yet we were spiritually by your side

After hours of crying we began reminiscing about the past

Not know which minute will be your last

Monday:

After school, We visited you once more

To see you awake filled my heart with joy

Until dark we listening to music and watching shows of your choice

Yet we would have been talking if you had your voice

Tuesday:

Once again I visited you at the hospice

Still happy to see you as if being overwhelmed twice

Your mother was there your sisters too...

We enjoyed our time without a slight boo-hoo

Wednesday:

We venture to see you in your room

Yet we had to wait because there was too many people visiting you

We waited awhile for people to leave
