Remain with me always

Tuesday 28th July

.

I carried you for almost eight months

My heart beating with yours

Developing, forming, nurturing

Creating a love that endures

.

Then when you were ready

Launching yourself upon the world

For thirty wonderful years

Watching as your life story unfurled

.

11,011 days

Or 30 years, 1 month, 23 days

You might be gone

But you remain with me always

.

Memories light the way

Memories light the way

On the darkest road of grief

Stumbling along awkwardly

Knowing cancer is a thief

Your time upon this earth

Certainly was far too brief

.

Thinking of you

Missing you

Remembering you

Loving you

Lil’s rose (a cutting from our next door neighbour about thirty years ago, has produced an abundance of these pink roses)

A walk down to the beach

Wednesday 22nd July

.

A walk down to the beach

To sit and have a coffee

Watching all the tourists

On holiday, so carefree

No social distancing

“Nothing’ll happen to me”

We’re placed above the sand

Away from anybody

Safe and enjoying the view

Gazing at the turquoise sea

.

All the while thinking of you

Our fun times together

Wondering, wishing, hoping

We’ll be connected forever

.

Porthmeor Beach, West

Looking towards the Island

Windbreaks, tents and parasols

Low tide, and a perfect blue

Just below the café

School’s out

Lifeguards on duty

Sitting in the shade
