Tears On My Pillow

I can’t hide the pain that’s beating in my heart The sadness and the anger it’s tearing me apart Never ever dreamed your news would hit me so hard Your final piece of news really caught me off my guard Over passing days I will start to be calm and cope I need to re-focus my life, not sit at home and mope My tears have been falling like a gushing waterfall Wonderful friends are on hand to help me dry them all Jan Allison 26th May 2014

Gosh its a long time since I read this James - was written when I found out my dad had terminal cancer - he told me on the phone he had lung cancer but when I got to the hospital he handed me a piece of paper which showed the diagnosis was lung and bowel cancer and that it was terminal - at his request I had to hide this news from my mother it was so so difficult:-( hugs Jan xx

June Allison. I am writing a special poem for you and Isle of Man. Thanks for your comment about my Gorgeous Day poem. Jill and I want to go on a Princess Cruise around all of your beloved Islands including yours on our 50th wedding anniversary in two years. There is no doubt that God put you and I in contact with each other. What an incredible island you have with forts, views of ocean and hills and dales. By for now James Thomas Horn PS. What time is it there? it is 0800 AM here.
