Addie Bundren


(poems go here) She fans but but she does not fan for me He saws and saws and saws but he does not saw for me He wonders and thinks but he does not think of me He wants to stay but he does not want to stay for me He catches a fish but he does not catch it for me He rubs his knees but he does not rub them for me All these things they do but not out of love for me But I know they love me Each in their own way I will be the fan I will be the saw that helps him build I will be the wagon he ponders about I will be his horse his only companion I will be the fish that is never eaten I am the pain that never subsides not that he wants me to I will be all because I love them all As I lay dying My fears , my worries, my sorrows my struggles, my dreams, my hopes, my prayers all fade as I do My last and final wish remaining which remained unfulfilled even until today For my family t o learn to do more for each other and to live with each other and do what they never did for me and live the life I gave them and live it with nothing but ****Love****
