Linda’s poem – When I think of you

When I think of you
tears flow
for you are no longer here
dearly beloved
but in paradise

and even though
you were destined to leave
selfishly I hoped you’d stay
if only for another day
so I could hold you in my arms
make you promise faithfully

to return
just to let me know
that you’re okay…..

and O I miss you Darling
needless to say
more than mere words
can ever
adequately convey
