I keep close to me an album Filled with photographs of you I relive my treasured memories On the days when I'm feeling blue They say that time will heal And I guess that is partly true But the pain never goes completely It lurks deep inside of you My grief sometimes overwhelms me On the days when I'm feeling down My mood becomes very sombre As amidst my sorrow I begin to drown Grief washes over you so quickly With no warning does it give As you struggle with your feelings Desperately seeking for reasons to live Your self worth becomes emaciated As you become a shadow of your former being Outside the sun may be shining But there is no light that you are seeing You try to fight the negatives That invade your heart and soul As you struggle to find happiness Which you set as your ultimate goal So here I sit amongst my memories As I slowly turn each page I cling tightly to your memory Thoughts of you I will never erase Suetang |

Oh, yes, did I enjoy this. Not only was it wonderfully written, how true it is! How sad. I hope you find a new love soon. ![]() Love the write. ~ Titus "My body is merely the canvas of my soul." |

Nice poem. Hope you feel better soon. "If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh" |

Thank you all for your replies. This was actually written about my father who died of asbestos cancer. It is true that the grief never really leaves you and creeps up on you every now and again. Take care......Sue Suetang |

Sue, I lost my Dad to cancer 4 years ago. It was a tough time for me but you do eventually smile when you think of them. ((Hugs)) Dee I wish you every happiness and may you always have the best of the good things in life. a brand |

Hello Dee I too lost my Dad to asbestos cancer nearly three years ago and I believe that it was during my grief that I started writing. The love I have for my father is shown in my writing for I have written many poems about him, such as this one. Take care......Sue Suetang |
