Please stay! Please stay!
Just for one moment more!
And watch my glad heart soar!
Oh, how the sun doth catch the outline of your face!
I am lonely for the rumble of your laughter –
be here, until twilight or after,
for I am anchored to you in this journey.
let your going cease,
for you are nature’s masterpiece!
I composed this poem in memory of a late friend of a friend, who died recently. We had some good laughs during a time when people still held house parties you know the type that didn’t finish until the crack of dawn! He was my contemporary, and now he is gone!
And then a serious tragedy hit closer to home. Last Sunday my beloved older brother fell seriously ill! Totally devastating! It made me think again about how important people really are and when it comes down to it, all we really have in this life, is each other.
