A joyless day awaits me On this depressing day in May The sun it may be shining But I don't see a single ray It was two years ago today That you so gracefully gave up the fight How much torment I've gone through As I wished I was there that night But I wasn't there to comfort you That night a phone call I did take That would change my life forever And would cause my heart to break You died that Sunday night But I was unable to be there I just hope and pray you realised How much for you I cared So similar we were Somewhat loners me and you How easily we'd talk with one another And share our points of view Sometimes we'd sit in silence No words we needed to say So comfortable we were with each other As we'd pass the time of day Along the beach now I drive in silence This road that takes me to where you lay Some flowers I'll take to your graveside On this sad and dismal day How my tears fall oh so freely On these pages as I write As I try so hard to finish this poem Having to summon up all of my might Even though I know you're gone A part of me just won't let go My love for you will never die How much I wanted you to know Suetang |

A very sad heartfelt poem, Nothing can ease the pain which is caused when we lossed a loved one, But I am sure they are still there and can hear what you say, therefore you haven't realy lost them at all, only lost the ability to percieve them . Lots of Hugs, Thanks for sharing . L.of.L. Tommy .

A person's imortality comes from living in the heart of one who remembers. Remember. Live for love. Without love, you don't live. |

Dear Sue: I can feel your sadness and makes me sad for you. The memories you have will keep this loved one alive in your heart and mind. Going forward does get easier as time goes by. Betty Lou Hebert |

This was rather difficult for me to write but they were words I had to say. Thank you all for your kind, thoughtful words.....Sue Suetang |

Very nicely woven, heartfelt. Yes, continue to love, continue to enjoy the memories of those times that you shared. As this person remains in your heart, know that you were in their heart that final day and your love surely went with them as they were carried away. For love has no boundaries nor no limit when it is real and surely this person's love is ever with you still. |
