Your poems & stories

Here are some of our poems and stories about our experiences of bereavement

The sun shines during the day                                              I can't believe I lost you,

The moon shines during the night                                         I wish so much that you were here,

The sky is blue                                                                       I can't believe it's been so long,

The sky is black                                                                     So long that you've been gone,

But when we think of this special person,

The sun is always shining.                                                     Nothing is easy,

She did good things and nothing else                                   Life is bad,

There was no bad inside her heart.                                       It makes me sad,

When I was down                                                                  I wish you were here,

She traded me a smile for a frown                                         I think about you everyday,

She helped me tie my shoe laces

and tuck me gently into bed                                                   You gave me life,

When I was ill she'd nurse me back to health.                       So why did yours have to be taken away?

I love this special person and will never forget her

She was my world

She was my light.
