A poem I wrote a few months ago when a friend was at a loss how to help, unfortunately she is not in contact with me now, she couldn't watch me in pain. I know its hard to see someone you love in pain.

How can I help?

Sometimes the right words are hard to find

but its ok to listen, I don't mind

sometimes its hard to know what to do

but you know, its just good to be with you…

I know that a lot of you have lost loved ones to tragedies like my experience nearly was and must have wondered how your loved ones felt if they knew they were going to die. I guess maybe everyones reactions may be different but felt to share my story and how I felt when I knew I was going to die. I hope it may help in some way.

When I was 11 I was out at sea with my dinghy when a massive freak wave came towards me, I wasn't sure what to do whether to try and ride it or try and get to…

Thought I would share with you another poem I wrote,

The lifeline of love

We were knitted together as one

it was you that was my lifeline

until death came and took you away

and snapped right through our strong twine

Now I am falling so very fast

no lifeline with which to save me

I never thought the line would…

I have been a christian for 18 years and have loved the lord with all my heart and been an active member of my church for that time.

I wondered if anyone on here has found this difficult. It…

Its the anniversary of steve's death today, but nobody really knew, so wasn't acknowledged by anyone but me, I am tired of grieving alone. Babs

Whilst searching the internet for steve's parents memorial,( they usually do one at the time of the anniversary of his death) I came accross a link I had not seen before even though I have searched the same criteria for a long time. The link was for his haulage company that he used to run when I first met him. Intrigued I clicked on it and was then invited to obtain the company records which of course I had to do. However I was then very shocked to see that his company had gone bankrupt, he…

Thought I would share another poem I wrote with you. I wonder if you can identify with it.

 Meeting you

Date and time arranged

I'd meet you at the tree

eagerly waiting for the time

when your face I would see

everything would be fine

when I was with you again

hours of missing you over

I would be with you then…

I like writing poetry and thought I would share some with you, I do find it helps me.

   When you died

When you died my life fell apart

How could anyone mend my heart

nothing seemed to be real anymore

of life I was no longer sure

I longed for someone to…
