The Key - a Poem For Darren Watson

What was once a matching pair are now so very far apart
You hold one key, I hold the other, you are forever in my heart

I use the key daily, and it always reminds me of you
A gift unique and special and I know you use yours too

i think Darren must feel better with your beautiful words to wrap him in the comfort of your warmth. i feel better and it wasn't even about me. by the way this a great poem to boot.

Darren and I write together here as 'Jadazzle united' - he has an amazing sense of humour and our writing flows verse by verse with little but usually no changes. You can read our first poem on my page called 'our first meeting on the Isle of Man' only the first verse has a slight alteration. I miss him dreadfully he is a very special person in my life and I hope and pray he is back with us soon:-) Hugs Jan xx
