Love Goes All The Way
There is a Spanish
Song
Where a mother
Visits
Her son
Who is about to
Be
Executed
In those days
They
Had to ring
A bell
In order to
Execute a prisoner
Following
A
Tearful departure
The son
Awaits
The executioner
But the bell doesn’t ring
And they
Have to let him go
As he is
Being released
Someone falls
From
The bell tower
He runs over
Seeing
His mother
She had held the bell
Stopping it from ringing
“Mama. You didn’t have to do that.”
“Yes I did.
Because love goes all the way.”

Hey hey
What a lovely dedication poem. Loved the minimalist way you convey that wonderful story.
Interesting that your style almost conveys a Spanish dialect. Lovely stuff!

Yes. I think so as well...
It was one of the last things
my father shared with me...
Before he passed
