I wrote this poem a while ago, and I really didn’t think I would ever share it other than on the occasion it was written for. It is so personal to me even now I am writing this procrasting if I really want to share it, but I after Kyles moving post on his blog today I think if I don’t do it now I never will. I guess so far everyone who has left comments has been really positive so I will entrust it to you and hide under the bed for a while until I know its safe to come out.
Silent as a snowflake,
A moment out of time,
A whisper on the wind
So quietly you left
An empty space surrounds,
The weight of absence heavy
No hand left to hold
So silently you left
The struggle was to much
For one so small to win
A pebble fighting the tide
So quietly you left
as the clouds wrap the mountains
you filled up our hearts
A smile to remain there
so silently you left
Morning dew upon the grass
Like tears upon the pillow
Not enough to drown the pain
So quietly you left
But the love will still remain

Thankyou so much I am very flattered, I may even risk reading your blogs on the bus again, infact next time i burst out laughing and the old ladies look at me strangely i shall pass them my phone and challenge them not to laugh (well unless its really rude dont want the old dears passing out and the bus being delayed)

hahaha – thanks – i wouldn’t want your bus to be delayed but i rather like the idea of old dears passing out lol – maybe i should have a “not for the under 18s or over 70s” warning on the site 😉

That was so very tenderly conveyed and even so in the offering … and
Ollie Ollie Oxen Free – or whatever that saying is to come out – its clear!

Your pain is evident…but so is your love. Come out from under the bed and continue writing about it. Let everyone rejoice in the good memories and help you to bare the bad. Blessings.
