Simon Atkinson Poem
Walking through the autumn leaves
Crunching and cracking beneath my heels,
A small green stem and bright red petal
On a journey to where it will settle,
A dozen plaques of names gone by
We lay a wreath some may cry,
Courageous beings that gave they’re last breath so we could be free from birth till death.
11:11 on the 11th day
We hold our poppy together we pray,
For what they have give us and what not to repeat
A tragic loss from under our feet,
A shinny meddle that came with such fear
A veteran of the world one trickling tear,
A day to remember stood in the wet
3 little words...lest we forget.

Simon Atkinson Poem
If only you knew
Days gone by and still I cry
Sole tears trickle with a gentle sigh
It’s all still here still so real
Nothing is helping the way I feel
Blood with needles all piercing my heart
From the moment you slept at the very start
A beautiful family always here to help
Any other time my heart would melt
But not this moment or any other day
Inside I’m crying my life away
Everything I see and everything I do
Leads me back to missing you
A little kiss upon your head is all I need
To say I love you and stop the pains feed
I can’t see a way to escape this jail
My soul is in all I do is fail
Good memories are deep within
Like the very last sweet inside a tin
I need a way to set them free
The way a river flows to the sea
I want to smile and laugh a little
But memories of my Nan are few and brittle
They day will come I have to let go
My body my mind my heart say no
No one in this universe could ever compare to you
My beautiful perfect nan... if you only knew

Simon Atkinson Poem
I look around and all I see
Are people looking back at me,
Going along in their daily routine
I want to be hidden but yet I’m seen,
I want to push the world away
And close my eyes till I see you one day,
The day you left was the day I dread
I try and try but it won’t leave my head,
You was my mum but I called you Nan
I loved you like no other can,
You took a piece of me as you slept
From the depths of my heart where you was kept,
I feel like memories are fading and weak
With every tear that rolls down my cheek,
I’m a broken man inside a shell
Hiding the world from my internal hell,
Nothing I hear and nothing I do
Eases the days I’m missing you,
I love you Nan with all my heart
I never thought we would be apart,
Your in a place where your at peace
No more pain is something at least,
I’ll hold my head up your strong tall son
Until you greet me my special mum
