GRIEVING FOR A LOVED ONE

 

Grieving for a loved one

Goes hand in glove

Because grief is the price

That you pay for love

WIND BLOWN PETALS

 

Like wind-blown petals

Of spring blossom

The snow fell in gentle swirls

Quickly settling

On the frozen landscape

To delight the boys and girls

Then I kissed a snowflake

Off her wrinkled nose

As more settled on her curls

FROM A BOY TO A MAN

 

I knew I had grown

From a boy to a man

When playing in the snow

With boisterous mates

Held less attraction

Than making snow angels

With a pretty girl

UNDER A BITTER SKY

 

Beneath the marbled skies

Of broken, fractured cloud

And the myriad of winter hues

Coloured with greys and blues

I waited in the bitter frosty air

Feeling the sting of winters bite

Until the moment I saw you

And warmed instantly by the view

THE DAY I SAID GOODBYE TO HER

 

The day I said goodbye to her,

Replays constantly in my mind

And it’s a familiar memory

Of the most destressing kind

I have tried to move on but I left

The love of my life behind

LOVE TIPS THE SCALE

 

Life is a question of balance

And love tips the scales

Some give a false accounting

But a steady love never fails

SHE BROUGHT GLORIOUS SUNLIGHT

 

She brought glorious sunlight

To the darkness of my soul

And the coldness of my heart

For living alone had taken its toll

But just spending time with her,

Has shown me again how to live

And revealed just how much love

One special person can give
