You know it’s a weird feeling, I really thought I would feel this huge sense of relief and get back up to my usual high.  But it only lasted a couple of days.

 

Not had a terribly good couple of days, just kinda sad really.  I’ve had a sombre day today and thought I’d throw myself in to my poetry, and read some of my favourite ones that always make me smile.

 

So if you’re interested, here are a few of my favourites :)

 

A friend is someone we turn to when our spirits need a lift.
A friend is someone we treasure for our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone who fills our lives with beauty, joy, and grace.
And makes the whole world we live in a better and happier place.

Friendship is like the breeze,

You can't hold it, Smell it, Taste it,

Or know when it's coming,

But you can always feel it,

And you'll always know it's there,

It may come and then go,

But you can know it'll always be back.

What You Are To Me
A quick glance, a tender smile
I am caught in a spell
A gentle touch, a warm embrace
I know that all to well
A soft voice, an unspoken love
Across the way I see
A kind face, an inner beauty

That's what you are to me

By: Sachi

 

Friends will come and friends will go,
The seasons change and it will show,
I will age and so will you,
But our friendship stays, strong and true.

Helly, that poem made me shed a tear as well

 

Tasting The Raindrops

 

Looking in your eyes
I feel myself falling in love with you
You said I love you
And I said it too

We went to our very own special spot
For no real reason at all
We sat and talked and looked at one another
And then the rain began to fall

We could have left just as quick as we came
But no, you wanted to stay in the rain
You asked me a question I’ll never forget
Have you ever tasted the raindrops?

I looked at you funny and you gave me a sigh
The cutest look, as I wondered, why?
Why, did you ask me to taste the rain?
Well, what did have to loose or gain?

I watched you with a careful eye
And did the same as you
You were looking up at the cloudy sky
But my eyes were stuck on you like glue

I lifted my head to look at the sky
And closed my eyes really tight
Just as I thought I’d caught a raindrop
You suddenly held me tight

I opened my eyes with slight alarm
As you kissed me soft and sweet
I remember that kiss like it was yesterday
I still feel those raindrops on my cheek

I tasted the raindrops like I never had before
It was worth every second of bliss
Every time I think of that moment
I think of my raindrop kiss

We sat close together on that one special rock
And we held each other tight
Then almost as suddenly as it came
The sun came out from beneath the rain

The most beautiful colours I’ve ever seen
Came out on the western sky
The sun was setting and the moment was perfect
More than any money could buy

As the sun slowly set and the sky lit up
You began carving our names in our special rock
I told you I would never forget this moment
In my heart this memory is locked

As our names were finished and permanently engraved
We watched the sun finish its day
We slowly got up to leave this place
Which was a year ago this May

I haven’t been to that spot in a year
Where did all the time go?
I will visit this place alone this time
And I will finally have to let go

This memory will be in my heart forever
But you will not remain in my mind
I don’t know if that love, will be seen again
For that love I cannot find

I will go to this spot as we promised we would
But you will not be there this time
Why is it that you can’t keep your promise?
I know that I’m keeping mine

Never again will I taste the raindrops
The way I did with you
And when I go to this spot again
I will say goodbye to you.

That moment sounds so perfect, kissing in the rain sounds very romantic, it reminds me of that rainy kiss in spiderman ........

Not had a very good day today, been looking at loads of poems and pictures in order to produce an Order of Service for Louisa.  Grief is such a powerful emotion, it just takes over.

When I come to the end of the road                          

And the sun has set for me

I want no rites in a gloom filled room

Why cry for a soul set free.

 

Miss me a little ~ But not too long

And not with your head bowed low

Remember the love that once we shared

Miss me ~ But let me go.

 

For this is the journey that we all must take

And each must go alone

It’s all part of the master plan

A step on the road to home.

 

When your lonely and sick of heart

Go to the friends we know

And bury your sorrows in doing your deeds

Miss me ~ But let me go.
