Adieu

Standard

Wednesday 31st May

    

A  swirling river of twinkling stars

Forever flowing towards the sea

Impossible to catch reflections

As it incessantly flows past me

  

As diamond raindrops fall from the sky

Bouncing off the tall green blades of grass

Soon coating my face with falling tears

I know this troubling storm will soon pass

  

The enveloping mist surrounds me

As I stand silently close to you

Protecting me from the outside world

So I can quietly whisper ‘Adieu’

  

Love you forever

Forgotten never

Angel son

Always young

Precious one

There is so much pain and grief

Your time on this earth too brief

And now that you have gone

The world simply carries on

But your legacy remains

Beautiful memories sustains

My broken heart keeps beating

Love for you, never retreating

Dearest, darling Angel son

My beloved, precious one.

Bath

Friday 26th May

  

We awoke early and left the house at six thirty to drive to Bath to meet up with friends from Australia whom I haven’t seen for four years. They are over in this country, travelling, staying in London at present, then going on to France, Belgium and Holland.

The day was glorious; we talked and talked: reminiscing, and walked and walked and walked: sightseeing.

We began with a Bath Bun and coffee at Sally Lunn’s tea house, then explored the streets, marveling at the Roman architecture, wandering around the Abbey, finding the Royal Crescent of Georgian townhouses, eating a picnic in the park beside the river, strolling across the Pulteney Bridge and looking at the masses of water flowing over the weir. We ended the day with a few beers, sitting outside at a pub, chilling, chatting and people watching.

A terrific day, catching up with old friends, enjoying the lovely sunny weather.

You liked Bath my darling, and as we were walking around, I imagined you with us, every step of the way.

Love you sweetheart.

Beloved Angel son.

Walking on the beach

My Angel’s walking on the beach

Holding books filled with facts to teach

Fingers clasped tightly around each

But he now remains silent of speech

And he’s so far beyond my reach.
  

Love you my darling Angel

To the moon and back

Across the golden sands

Breaking waves a soundtrack.

Walking down to the beach

Blue skies and seas

You never know

You never know

You just don’t know 

What tomorrow brings.

  

No guarantees

No promises

Until the fat lady sings.

  

Live now

Love now

Achieve so many things.

  

Hold them tight

Hold them close

Savour the love that clings.

  

Leave a legacy

Leave footprints

Until you gain your wings.

  

Love you sweetheart

Treasured Angel son

No endings, just beginnings.
