Christopher Grieves Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

Sunset

We held hands for a while
There were no goodbyes 
But I linger on thoughts
Of your twinkling eyes 

Many a sky 
And many a vista
Have been placed onto canvas 
By the Earth's loving sister 

Knitted jumpers
For kids who you never would meet
The twiddle-mitt queen 
Your compassion complete 

Trusting nature was always 
Your truth and your way
Scotland's highlands the place..
Guess you'll be there today 

So as sunset arrives
The most beautiful sky
Is a prelude to memories 
Of the day that's flown by 

There's a blindfold 
To night that is rarely unveiled
Like a mystery cruise
On a ship that has sailed 

As the sun dips behind
The still water of years
All the hugs and the smiles
Through the laughter and tears 

Will linger in hearts
That are full as can be
For we'll miss you. Goodbye.
But we're glad you're now free.
