Ann Gilmour Poet Rhyme

'twas a Friday

My dearest Son
I want you to know
How much you are loved
We are missing you so
The first Father’s Day
Since the day that you died
Oh so many tears we have cried
~~~
Your son and your daughter
A father they miss
On this Father’s day morn
As reality doth dawn
For them my heart breaks
As when they awake
Their father's not here he has gone
~~~
On the day you were taken
too early ~ too soon

‘twas a Friday
     on a sunny
         and a bright afternoon                              
~~~~

Written 21st June 2020 on Father’s Day in the UK

Tom Cunningham June 24, 2020 at 3:02 PM A beautiful tribute Ann, it was a terrible shock for you, but I know he would not want you to be sad. Tom. Ann Gilmour June 24, 2020 at 3:15 PM I know you are right Tom, but my pain is still so raw and has been even more recently. I talk to him and about him every day and can smile as well as cry. I know over time the pain will lesson, as it did with my husband, but I don't think I will ever get over losing my son. Thank you Tom for your kindly words. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
