Goodbye…
.
Goodbye, dear friend, goodbye
The struggle is done
God reached down his hand
And fetched you home
We were as sisters, you and I
Recognised each other
From years gone by
I knew you and you knew me
Before time and pre history

Sad, but you have memories of a long and true friendship
I met her in April when I came here to the Care Centre. We both felt as if we had known each other for ever and had so much in common. She help me tremendously while I struggled to come to terms with my injury, the fact that I had to sell my properties and stay here permanently and lose my independence. I realised that most of the patients and residents here had had similar experiences and losses.
You never know with poetry, Denise, but if this is true and recent then my heart goes out to you.
But very poignant.
Thank you
John
It is true, John. Have a look at my reply (above) to Sidey.
Ditto what John said. A great commemorative poem and sounds like a great friendship.
She was one of a kind, Gabe. So sweet and kind with never a harsh word about anyone.
I am truly sorry, for a loss like that is like a piece of you is missing…for now.
Yes it is, Jack. She felt like a sister to me!
You have suffered greatly, lost everything, still … you give us joy in your writings. Bless you!
Thank you Maxi, but it’s not as bad as it sounds. I have my children, my siblings and my friends. Bless you for caring.
Friends and family are gone. I have not been able to be as accepting as you. The say with time…..Well, have entered 7th decade and still…….
Carl, I’m so sorry. Life can be hard, I know, but you just have to make the best of what you have. We don’t know what lies around the corner… and we must keep our eyes open to see. God bless you.
So very sad, but yet comforting because it sounds like there is finally some peace there.
She suffered bravely for months, BV, and I know she’s at peace now.
Sorry adee, very sad {hug}
Thanks, Cindy. It is sad, but it was inevitable. Still such a shock though.
i am glad you can say goodbye…i hope they lived a full and wonderful life…sorry for your loss…
She did, Brian, and thank you.
How wonderful to meet a soul-friend – even though later in life, it was a heavenly gift that you both received and shared. I don’t see God so much reaching down and taking, as receiving and welcoming, which is what God did and does.
I have a feeling you have been a wonderful source of friendship and comfort to the other residents at the care center. You are carrying on the friendship by passing it on.
I send my love and also my admiration for you, a wonderful lady who knows how to make the very best lemonade from the sourest of lemons!
Thank you for understanding Paula. Receiving and welcoming is quite right, but I think she was waiting to be fetched… God bless you.
How lovely that you had got to meet and know her… and I’m sure she felt the same about you – soul sisters.
She did, Ruth. We discussed how we felt as if we had known each other forever…
It’s hard to say goodbye, Denise: it’s good you both had a chance to know each other. So sorry.
Oh yes, Kate. I think we were meant to meet and I learnt a lot from her.
That is sad!
Yes, it is Patrecia.
What a lovely, moving piece of poetry.
Thanks for your visit and the very nice compliment, Ed.
I knew you and you knew me
Before time and pre history…
This is so lovely thought Denise.
The more I think of it the more it pleases me. As sub-atomic particles, we must have moved restlessly in the same atom, as atoms we must have defined the character of a molecule, as molecules within the same body we must have defined the species itself. How sweet is this thought.
Thank you Sunamu! I do believe we can and sometimes do recognise people from before this existence. Whether it is from past incarnations or from wherever we were in the past before our birth I don’t know.
Oh sad, Adee – you have had to deal with so much loss this past year
Yes, Bb, it is sad, but I’m really glad that I met and got to know her.
Sorry to come in so late. This is very sad, Denise. Hope you are OK.
I am fine, Mark, thank you.
