Notes: This is a collaboration between myself and Darren White to wish Tim Smith a Happy Birthday. We attempted to write a poem in a similar style to his writings! Cheers

Happy Birthday Tim Smith

Candles in the wind

Time blows within our hearts
when young ones leave our nest
we love the memories, but feel a little less
life is not a dream, it's a test

Waking, to the calls of morn
alone, a coffee and with buttered scone
on the windowsill I sit
observing the empty nest
they've flown away, is natures way
my heart yearns for time to never stray

I wish the phone would ring, does anyone care
if only there would be someone calling
whose caress would say "I'm there"

When love is all you ever knew
being alone tears and burns all through

My candle flickers, it's wick softly glows
while i watch them fly to where the current blows
be safe little mourning doves, I wait for you at home

Happy, happy birthday, although the nest is empty , the migration will bring the flock closer if only for a parting time again, to repeat the cycle. Nice and chrisp message.
