I Miss Them All
Listen to poem:
I dream in sepia coloured tones
of summer holidays long ago.
of ocean waves and skimming stones
and building snowmen in the snow.
My mum and dad and the love they gave
before they were taken from my gaze.
And me standing solemnly by their grave
Oh I wish them here, so we can go on holidays.
My siblings two, are no longer here.
How unfair to leave me bringing up the rear.
Their voices once again I crave to hear .
life's not fair to leave the youngest here , let's be clear .
I wish my time would hurry up.
So I can spend it with those I loved.
This mortal life, I would gladly give up
To spend just one more day with those I so dearly loved .
