Sadness of my Journey

Since losing my beloved cat squeak 

it has made me realise 

how many wonderful people 

I have lost along life`s journey

it feels as though my circle

is diminishing more each year

loved ones have been torn away

and then given their angel wings

father, mother, husband, friends

each passing feels like a knife

plunged deep with in the heart

chipping slowly away at my soul

time can be a healer, I`m told

everyone copes in their own way

it`s not weakness to let tears flow

but a release of memories

to lock in the heart foe safety

until we meet again my dears
