Whereabouts Unknown
Whereabouts unknown… That was how my Dad and his siblings referred to my grandfather during the Great Depression He just disappeared and was gone for years only to show up as if nothing was wrong Whereabouts unknown… He left my grandmother and a handful of young children to fend for themselves during that dark time Whereabouts unknown… Anna Laura… the baby of the family died of lockjaw while he was gone Whereabouts unknown… No one knows or will say they know where he was during all those years Whereabouts unknown… Just another of the many secrets… Mysteries… that ran rampant through my father’s family © 2014 Annie Original PoetryAlways…I wish you peace, joy and happiness, but most of all I wish you Love.
