Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Forever In My Heart

Oceans of a sapphire blue are keeping us apart
Friends and family are always forever in my heart
Speak on the phone occasionally and may meet up one day
Not the same as being together to hear the words we say

You can’t really know what’s going on in my life
I try to smile and laugh, hide my worries and my strife
It’s hard to know the truth when my face cannot be seen 
Being far away from you isn’t part of ‘living the dream’

Jan Allison

David Williams May 19, 2014 at 2:17 AM Jan distance is never a problem these days....David Jan Allison May 19, 2014 at 7:57 AM So true David but it is very difficult for me to just take off at the drop of a hat - my elderly parents are my priority - I would dearly love to get to the UK more often but its impossible without a lot of planning. Hugs jan xx

Andrea Dietrich May 18, 2014 at 4:31 PM Those long term relationships, I just don't know about them!! But it's great if absence can make his heart grow even fonder, sweetie. Jan Allison May 18, 2014 at 4:39 PM This is getting me seriously worried Andrea! LOL This wasn't written with the intention of being about long distance relationships with a guy - can't understand from my words why it's given that impression. Hugs as ever Jan xxxx

Carolyn Devonshire May 18, 2014 at 3:15 PM Dear Jan, Those who are dearest to me all live at a distance. If I didn't have a telephone, I wouldn't have any communication at all some days. Still, I know how sad it is to miss your loved ones. You touched my heart. I'll send you a Soup Mail. Best wishes, Carolyn Jan Allison May 18, 2014 at 3:19 PM Thanks Carolyn for the lovely comment . Hugs Jan xx

Ilene Bauer May 17, 2014 at 10:12 AM it's never easy being away from those you care about but you've done a fine job of describing what you're feeling in this poem... Jan Allison May 17, 2014 at 11:07 AM Thanks Ilene for understanding. Hugs Jan xx

Tim Smith May 17, 2014 at 7:49 AM Jan I can feel your loneliness.. It is so hard when love ones are away.....hugs Tim Jan Allison May 17, 2014 at 8:00 AM I wouldn't call describe it as loneliness Tim, despite everything that's going I'm on a high and I feel amazing. Would love someone to take over for a few days - dad still in hospital mum in care. It's tough emotionally but hopefully next week things will be brighter and I have wonderful friends in my life to keep me smiling :-) Hugs as ever my friend Jan xxx

Jake Ponce May 17, 2014 at 7:22 AM I can feel the intense longing in this poem. I know some very close friends of mine who have to be away from their families to study/work. I'm sure emails and calls aren't enough because nothing can beat real hugs. I always try my best to be a really kind brother to them so they can have someone to run to just in case times get rough. Hugs from this side of the world to you, Jan! Jan Allison May 17, 2014 at 7:53 AM Cheers Jake for those kind words - struggling with parents health at the moment but still smiling :-) Hugs as ever Jan xx
