A widows comfort

by Tiny Reader   Sep 27, 2005


A path through a haven
Of memories kept,
Flowers of honour
For souls that have left.

With innocent children,
The elderly come,
Floating with emotion
Visitors become one.

A belief in a power
With love they reflect,
Feeling inspired,
They pay their respect.

A widow gently plants
Herself to the ground
Slowly wiping tears
For the love that she found.

A beautiful place
Where serenity lives,
She whispers a thought
Of how hopeful she is.

"I will carry on smiling,
Though your face is gone,
And my memories fading,
But you carry on.

Death is approaching
Old age is so tough
But I know that you're watching
And that is enough.

I cannot feel sadness
When summer is gone,
Cause through this lack of sunshine,
The blossom lives on.

A beauty in pain,
A soft laugh through the wind
I can hear your whisper
I can hear you sing."

A path through a haven
Of memories kept,
Flowers of honour
For souls that have left.

    Very strong ryminhg and rhythm, and i like therepetition of the first stanza at the end, a nice touch.

    just a small suggestion... teh second to last stanza would be nice as 'i can hear YOU (instead of your)whisper, i can hear you sing'

    This poem reminds me kind of what me and my mom had to go through when my dad past. There was a sense of sadness but at the same time, there's joy knowing that one day we'll see him again. Your wording fits the situation and my feelings toward it perfectly.

    I Love How The Lines In The Stanza Was Short Yet Meaningful, It Served To Be a Format That Was Well Suited..It Was Simply Beautiful 5/5 xoxo-Nikki-xoxo
