Deborah Herber Poet Rhyme

The Last Bend

The Last Bend 

I knew the road before me
Would soon come to an end 
And I knew he would be waiting 
Just around the last bend.

The tears of sorrow will flow
With many questions of why
But there are no simple answers 
No easy way to say good-bye.

My spirit will continue 
In those who remember me
And wherever you look
I'll be in everything you see.

I'll be the gentle soft breeze 
That kisses your face
I'm the frost on the window 
Delicate as fine lace.

I'll quietly sing to you
As raindrops dance 
A symphony of my soul
In a harmonic trance.

When the day ends
And the sky is on fire
You'll think of me
And lift your head higher 

When the leaves change 
And dance to the ground 
I'll be that serenity 
You feel all around.

The rough road before me
Has come to an end
But I will be waiting for you
Around the last bend.

John Loving Iii July 29, 2025 at 10:17 AM Something I find myself writing someday. It's a subject that sometimes needs addressing. If you ask me , where will I be? Up in heaven laughing it up with God. Why? look at my name John it means "God is Gracious". Henry " Ruler of the House" and Loving, well that's self explanitory. But Here's the part We'll laugh at my mothers maiden name is Davidson. Deborah Herber July 15, 2026 at 6:32 PM I am so sorry I just found your comment. Death is hard for us all to talk about and face. But I'm hoping before my time is up, maybe I can just write that 1 poem, that 1 song, that 1 masterpiece that will live on in my tracks.
