Poem
lying here waiting for my time to end looking back at my past my dear friend the things that we have been through and all the happy times i spent with you do you remember when we first did meet? i think it was down in Elizabeth street it was a cold day in the middle of may and i was lying in the gutter that day you helped me up and brushed me down before you took me home across town i had been homeless for about a year and you decided to give me one, my dear that day on, i fell deeply in love with you standing there wearing just one old shoe i smiled at you through my unshaven face as you walked with me back to your place people stared hard at you for helping me but your good heart they could not see you kissed me in front of the supermarket and one old lady dropped her small basket i was nervous when we got to your house you noticed i was quiet as a field mouse as i entered your humble abode with delight i noticed it was so beautiful and bright after i washed, shaved and was fully fed you let me sleep in your spare single bed in the morning you gave me some breakfast and i hope this dream would forever last but it was not a dream, it was for real finally life had given me a wonderful deal eventually we got married and had a family you, me and our children, John and Jamie we had good jobs and a brand new home which outside stood a happy garden gnome John grew up to be successful racing jockey and Jamie became a television personality we were so happy together for many years until the day that our eyes cried some tears that day the doctors told me i was going to die with this cancer, it is now time to say goodbye i loved you my dear, please do not be sad you gave me a good life when mine was bad i would of never been so happy without you and i always had treasured that one old shoe from the time we met that cold wintry may to remind me to love you forever and a day let my love stay forever in your precious heart for now from this world i will gracefully depart goodbye my dear........................................ .................................................................
