Poetry

I wrote this little poem for Carrie, in memory of her Mum who died of cancer in April 2007. I met 'Carrie' in cyberspace, but I didn't need to meet her in person to know she was a beautiful woman both inside and out. This poem was written especially for Carrie, but wanted to 'share' it, so am publishing it out of respect for all those who have lost a loved one too soon and to celebrate my love for Carrie, which unfortunately was never reciprocated in a way that I truly wanted. x x

April falls on the morning dew;
Sunlight glistens for the chosen few;
Darkness fades, though the memories remain;
Teardrops exploding like the teeming rain.

The missing words... left unspoken;
An indomitable spirit never broken;
A Mother’s love that never cools;
Maybe we are all just April fools.
