Just Us Three

I sit by the sea Let it wash over me Soothing my pain her ebb and her flow For I am still here on this Christmas Day I did not go away for I needed to stay Feeling so weak Laryngitis ~ can’t speak So I sit here alone for the solace I seek Sweet memories I pray will begin to appear My darlings I’m sensing your presence is near My two precious boys I feel your embrace See your sweet smiling face thus a glimmer of hope Come sit beside me Just for a short while As we sit by the sea Just us three…

Writing is therapeutic for me, and possibly for you also, my friend. Anyway, Ann, I certainly hope so. It is nice to sit by the sea, just "you three". I love this!

Yes that is so true for me too Caren. Even though some of my poems have been so full of emotion lately, just by penning my emotions I am feeling some relief which is helping the slow healing process after such a trauma. Glad you love this poem. The sea for me is the most cathartic place to be. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

Thank you Tom at the moment I feel like I am on the outside looking in. By writing down my hopes and dreams it helps to ease the pain a little. I do hope you had a lovely day with your family and that the sun shone down, like it did here. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
