Why

Collaboration Contest WHY? I want to dance on the moon, Eat fresh honey with a spoon, Play a lively tune, And float across the sky in a multi-colored balloon. I want to eat cake and ice-cream, Paint a snow-capped mountain scene, Slide down a sunbeam, And kiss you in a dream. I want to let my imagination fly Up into a starlit sky Way up high. Why? Because then I won’t cry. Collaboration by: Carole Duet and Daniel Turner Copyright: 8/9/2017 “All Rights Reserved”

aww Carole and DT having attended 3 funerals in 3 weeks and one more to come tomorrow this is perfect for me to read this morning. I have never experienced feeling like the way you describe in the poem but know when mum passes it will be hard to bear but i still have not grieved for my dad and probably never will:-( :-( hugs jan xx
