I
have attempted several posts over the last few days with the Halloween Theme.. All of which I deleted after spending quite some time on them..
I thought I would look back within my archives for Inspiration, when I came across an old post from my Windows Live Space days before I transferred the whole of my blog over to WordPress
You know how it is, when you are guided, and then something feels right.. I shed a few tears re-reading my post and the poem I had written for my friend.. And wondered why had the Universe led me to it today of all days..
I didn’t have to think long.. Tomorrow is the November the 1st. and it was my friends Earth Birthday..
I just want to send ALL of my new found Blogging friends Love and Encouragement.. what ever life is throwing at you at the moment.. And Remember.
Life is Short, Break the Rules, Forgive Quickly, Kiss Passionately, Love Truly, and Laugh Constantly
Below is the poem I wrote my friend she was 56 when she passed and she remarried when she was 55, knowing she had not long left for this earth.. They had a wonderful wedding in Hawaii and the following Poem is what I gave her, as I had nothing else but my heart to share.. I called it simply, Friends.
Friends
I sit here and stare at a blank page,
Knowing that words will be given through my faithful sage.
Memories are such a wonderful gift,
And you’ve given me plenty, my life you’ve enriched.
~~
The shopping we’ve done, until our feet ache.
Laughing at the fashions that home we did not take.
Drooling over books and paintings, the expense!
Buying silly trinkets that didn’t make any sense
~~
Memories are such a wonderful gift,
And you’ve given me plenty, my life you’ve enriched.
Remember the Christmas Market and the wares that they sold,
Treasures to wrap up in your heart, to keep hold.
~~
Remember the old busker, a child’s xylophone he did play,
Three notes were his tune, smiling, he made our day.
The talks of serious, deep mystical things,
The ups and downs, the shared memory brings.
~~
A beautiful Japanese garden did a day we spend.
The books we have read and to each other lend.
How else could I not call you my friend!
Memories are such a wonderful gift,
And you’ve given me plenty, my heart you up lift.
~~
The times you gently scolded me and my ways,
You are just as stubborn, slobbing away your days!
We can talk for hours and yet not say what’s in our heart,
Not wanting to admit to a day when we must part.
~~
Tears fill my eyes, as these words to you I send,
But I know that for all eternity you will go on being my friend.
Remember the promise, we to each other made,
If we should ever want to return here, hit me with a spade.
Your journey is before me, but distance will not part,
As the memories that you give me are forever in my heart.
Today is the day we remember our Ancestors and those who have passed beyond the veil..
Happy Birthday Pat..
Eternally within my Heart.
Samhain Blessings to you ALL
Sue
