Absence

In the absence of Loudness
Grandma is remembered;
In the absence of Laughter
A child is remembered;
In the absence of Wisdom
Grandpa is remembered;
In the absence of Peace
Peace is remembered;
In the absence of Happiness
Happiness is remembered;
In the absence of Will Power
Heroes are remembered;
In the absence of Good Virtues
Goodness is remembered;

  1. This is a good point....that, sometimes, we remember certain things or people, by the absence of those characteristics that would remind us of them!
