Poetry
Can lungs forget to breathe
or hearts forget to beat?
They may, even to perishing,
yet a father will never forget the son he loved.
Doing so, such a man would offend himself to
his own shame.
He rightly honors his son’s memory,
as grief continues as a witness to the beauty
of the one who came from his flesh.

In honor of the relationship between Gary Boehling and his son, Adam, who passed away April 27, 2005 at the age of 18.
