Flying Without Wings

I wrote this poem for a friend whose daughter had leukemia.

Flying Without Wings

Hold on tight, dear little one
Your new life here, it has begun
Free from Medics, free from pain
Filled with flowers, drizzling summer rain

So come with me, here, take my hand
We’ll walk together across the land
You’re very young, you don’t want to go
Leaving your parents, it’s hard, I know

Little one, come and learn to fly
Though not like those birds across the sky
A different flying we’ll do my dear
Without wings, when your time is near

Just close your eyes, take a slow breath
I am here with you when comes your death
Now open your eyes and you will see
You’re not alone, come fly with me

Thank you both for taking the time to read and most of all, to leave a note to say you had.

Keep Safe Your Dreams

Sometimes I wonder if you will ever know

Exactly how much it is I love you so

All this time that we have been friends

Now it seems so surreal that all here will end

I love you my friend, my companion, my mate

We have lived thorough the tears, but never through hate

Now as my life slowly slips me by

You sit at my bedside refusing to cry

I reach out and you clasp tight my hand

Gently I finger your golden wedding band

Oh husband, my love, inside I feel very cold

Now that I realize I won’t live to see you grow old

The future together we had so many dreams

They have all been torn, ripped into shreds, or so it does seem

Husband, please, though your life is to change

Do not let all your priorities collapse when you rearrange

The time has come, my flags have been furled

I am about to leave you alone in this world

For our dreams, my love, please do keep a part

Some place safe for them and me in your heart

To everyone who reviewed.

No More Tomorrows

If I could turn back time
Even for just a single day
I would say out loud all the things that I
Just didn’t get round to say

I’d let you know how much you mean to me
I’d show you my heart is true
I’d hold you close in a big bear hug
And tell you that all my love is for you

If I knew that yesterday would be
The last time I could see you smile
I would tell you a joke and make you laugh
And keep you smiling for a while

And if I knew that yesterday would be
My last chance to take my dog for a run
I’d pick up his ball and the frizbee too
And play with him just for fun

I look back through my life and see
That there was still so much left yet to do
I had yet to fulfil my dream
The one of marrying you

I’d always though there’d be more tomorrows
So I could plan it all just right
I’d propose to you and give you a ring
Underneath a moonlit night

I thought of all the yesterdays
And all the fun times we had
Always we planned for the tomorrows
Remembering those times makes me sad

For there will be no more tomorrows
And all my yesterdays are through
But what I will remember most about my life
Is the time I had spent with you

My time down there on earth is done
A new life starts up here
But for all you who think there will still be a tomorrow
Grab the one you love and tell them how much you care.
