Knowing the answer was the easy bit.

Putting it right meant a new dimension.

So with cards on the table they  both agreed,

That to separate was never their intension.

They were buried in centuries of clutter

Each piece having a meaningful thought

Passed down through endless generations

Simply custodians, in a trap, caught.

 

 

 

 

Just when I thought I was moving on,

I felt you near to my bed.

I quickly looked up and saw nothing at all,

I thought I was going out of my head.

 

That night I went out and had my first date

With a guy who I’d met in the shop.

He’d lost his partner, just like me

So  emotions we were able to swap.

 

I came home thinking, ‘What was the point’

Of bothering to even go out.

I felt so guilty, it was all too soon.

He was as depressed as me, without doubt.

 

Weeks went by and he hadn’t phoned,

Which did me some good in a way.

As I’d made up my mind to say ‘No thanks’

Had he rung me the very next day.

 

Then out of the blue I got a call

Which started to make my heart flutter.

He was in a bad way and needed a chat

He said, with a bit of a stutter.

 

So I went, and I listened with a sympathetic ear.

And saw he wasn’t feeling too good.

But I came home thinking how nice he was

And told him to ring me whenever he could

 

Well that was the start and we slowly progressed

And climbed out of the pit we were in.

We both had baggage and heartache untold

And nerves that were paper thin.

 

Now we are married and doing okay

And supporting each other day by day.

It hasn’t been easy, sometimes two steps back

Just as one step was going our way.

 

But we’re keeping focused and positive together

And come rain or shine, we’ll get through.

Life has to go on, we have no choice

Though I still often think about you.

Papa once said

‘I like all flavours of ice cream, I do’,

causing the family to look at each other

and fall about laughing.

Those words hung around his neck like

a banner and were repeated whenever

ice cream was seen or mentioned.

Of course, I can only tell you how I see it,

and try to advise you for the best.

Though I have a familiar feeling, you’ll

do it your way, now it’s off your chest.

 

 

 

 

 

Allow the fledglings freedom

to rise and fall at will.

Be there if they should need you,

but in the background stay until ……

 

 

 

 

They married young,

a  family  followed.

It was tough at first,

they fought and hollered.

But with bitter pills and

hard times swallowed.

They battled through and

in love wallowed.

The triangle of destiny,

the percussion of life.

With it’s lightest of touches,

can scar like a knife.

The first one is always special,

and the closest to the heart.

Our very own set of wheels-

Be it a tricycle or a cart.

 

It sets us on the path to freedom,

a time from birth, that seems the aim.

To explore what’s around the corner,

is our in-built human game.

If I’d only known when I was with you,

how much I’d miss you when you were gone.

I’d have much more enjoyed our quality time,

and this burden wouldn’t have weighed a ton.
