Poem Title:
Poem
The time slips by so quickly but the memories remain the same Your first steps and your laughter are always in my mind’s frame I treasure the pictures taken with each one a memory held so dear You are part of me and I feel you now so clear to me and so near The day you left was no different, the last words we spoke the same If I knew then what I now know I would hold you and stay I would exclaim. It’s time to put my burden down I have loved you all along Thinking of you has ground me down I want to sing your song. I go to our special places and want to see you standing there Without you being with me these places are now not quite as fair There are memories of you all around I still see you every day I want to remember you as sunshine and not in cloudy grey I’ll be seeing you there and know that you are alright now I know there is no end and you will be waiting to show me how. It’s time to put my burden down I have loved you all along Thinking of you has ground me down I want to sing your song. The long days wasted without you have made their mark on me The grief I feel for you in the night whilst searching for the key To find an end to the saddest times to soothe my aching heart I know you did not want to go away the thought tears me all apart You would not want me to feel this way it’s time for healing now The memories of the happy times will give me all the know-how. It’s time to put my burden down I have loved you all along Thinking of you has ground me down I want to sing your song. © Paul Warren Poetry
