Letting Go and Hanging On With Darren White

Each new day, each long night
I reach for you who gave me life. 
You search for you in me, as life has gone
My heart bleeds life into you
who gave and gave, now fading so fast    

In time undefined, conversation left stranded
we reach out, we let go, empty handed
cluelessly knowing.

you smile, laugh broadly
greet people in passing
no face needs a name
somethings don't ever change
hearts will always hang on

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart May 4, 2017 at 7:17 AM This is lovely Sara :) These smiles are genuine. I will share with my dear friend caring for her mother with dementia, thank you. Sara Ella May 4, 2017 at 8:02 AM Thank you Maureen <3 I hope your friend finds a smile in this too :)

Chris Green May 4, 2017 at 6:09 AM This was sadly beautiful Sara and that last stanza was heart breaking to me. "no face needs a name" That line alone made me tear up. I can't even imagine what that must be like. Very nicely written my friend. Sara Ella May 4, 2017 at 6:35 AM Good Morning Chris :) Thank you <3 I was thinking of my Mom who doesn't remember much but still likes to smile.

Standing on my head? ;)
