Ann Gilmour Poet Rhyme

Your Strength Your Rock

To lose the true love of your life
A devastating blow
Even when expected
It breaks your heart to see him go
No longer here to share your life
To talk things through
To comfort you
To see the twinkle in his eyes
So sad to witness his demise
Together for so many years
Your strength 
Your rock 
has gone
      
When duty calls      
you’ll find your strength
for still your rock 
will help you carry on…

Gordon Mcconnell April 10, 2021 at 1:31 PM Such a lovely piece Ann, told with sympathy and gentleness as her majesty will feeling her loss this day. This is so moving bringing strength to the reader when passing their own loss. Blessings always, Gordon Ann Gilmour April 10, 2021 at 3:05 PM Thank you dear Gordon for your kind words. I was moved to write this as I knew how Her Majesty the Queen must feel and I felt such sadness for her. Today I have been utterly amazed at how much Prince Philip has achieved in his long lifetime, as well as fully supporting his wife from the moment she became Queen, she will miss him terribly. Bless you Gordon. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

Whoever you are in this world grief and loss are felt by all...Hoping all is well with you and your family Tom. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
