"The Ghosts of Crestview Manor" by Julianna Rowe

PART I

 

 ABANDONED

 

To forsake as a hopeless enterprise:   To dessert:

 

Abandonment is cold as the icy winds of the tallest mountain,

 

And as lonely and frightening as the descent among a storm.

 

A child that is abandoned at birth……or before

 

A wife that gives her all only to be left with nothing

 

A family pet left at the shelter they call humane…….

 

A man thirty years doing his job…fired……

 

A country devastated by terrorists…..no help in sight

 

A Mother praying for her child’s life……no answer

 

A lie….lived out many generations ……
