Something a little different today. I wrote a poem for a friend and I’d like to share it. He’s losing his soul mate to cancer and I wish there were something, anything that could be done. My heart is full. It goes out to them and everyone who has been through or is going through the same heartache of losing the one you love.
For Robert & Eileen
–
There is another world, my love
A world that’s free of pain
Hold me in your heart, my dear
It’s where we’ll meet again
–
Life is cruel you see, my sweet
Who knows it more than we?
But hold my hand, my darling one
In no time you’ll be free
–
I’ll follow you, my soul’s delight
Don’t ever think I’ll fail
Trust that thought, my dearest heart
I’m not the sort to bail
–
There is another world, my love
A world that’s free of pain
Hold me in your heart, my dear
It’s where we’ll meet again

I’m so sorry to hear of what your friends are going through. This is a truly lovely poem though… full of hope.
It’s just so sad. I wish life were kinder sometimes… Thanks Aussa
Beautiful poem Sara
Thanks Libby 🙂
Just perfect.
Ah thanks Kelly
Very beautiful my love. Sending you & your friends love and light from Sydney x x x
Thank you pretty.. Love & light so welcome, lots back to you xxx
I’m sorry to hear anyone has to go through that. Not to trivialize, but I just finished reading “The Fault in Our Stars,” about some teens with cancer. It was a moving and poignant read. I wish that stuff was only fictional. Lovely poem Sara. Stay strong for your friends.
Ah I wish it was too.. I’ve not heard of that, will have to look it up, though I wouldn’t mind reading something a bit more cheerful next!
Lovely poem
Thanks Suzy 🙂
