Until We Meet Again

When I walk in the village I will never see your face
We cannot share a laugh or joke or a warm embrace

Today I said a final goodbye to a very dear friend
But your sudden passing away is not the end

You are now in heaven and are finally free
Beryl I do hope you save a place for me

I am sure you are making God laugh and smile
But I don't intend joining you for a very long while.

Happy Trails To You Until we meet again. Who was that and what was the name of his wife, horse and sidekick. This will be a golden opportunity to broaden your mind. God, how we both love writing poetry. Jim Horn

Charmaine may our soul with you always remain. And Jan can we see so much jubilee when you read my poems from me. I have four more to add now. Bye for now and we never have to say good-bye to God who will always be there forever.

When people We hold dear to us pass to the land of joy ,they leave behind an empty space in our heart,especially if they're people who own a bubbly character ,but they leave as well fond memories and positive energy,as if they are telling us,Its just the body that is gone,our soul is still there..Feel it..and smile.Dear friend one day We all would meet again,but till then souls find eacother & hopefully comfort fills your sweet heart.I love how u ended d poem..Guess yr friend is smilin up there.

It was so so sad Mr Roboto she was recently on holiday in the UK and had a massive heart attack and died in church- she was a committed christian so i can't think of a more apt passing for her. Hugs Jan xxx
