OSI: Empty

Grief

It's a little like if you gave a baby a half full bottle...
not a new baby
but one that's been around a few months.
The milk is sweet and warm
and then it runs out too soon
and nobody can really explain to the baby
about trips to the store and running low on formula.
It looks up with those big baby eyes
asking why.
Why did it end too soon?
Except it's only milk,
and the baby
will eventually know.

Empty, for sure. Nicely worded!

quite a lovely post - and a good analogy, I think most of us must be familiar with those big blue eyes asking why and the impossibility of explaining... thanks!
