Each Day.

Goldfinch60



Each day I get up and the thrill is there.

What will I do today?

There is always something to do.

My life is so full,

Each day is wonderful,

As I am here to enjoy them,

And will enjoy all my days.

 

Then the reality hits me!

My loved one has gone!

    A sensitive write Gold. Hope I don't spoil it by crooning that song.

    • Goldfinch60

      Thank you Orchi. don't worry you won't spoil it.

    • orchidee

      With your situation, some of the words of the song seem reversed, where one has found one's love (person). 'I guess they understand….'
      Hope we do. Now I can't see to write more, in this haze of tears.

    • ANGELA & BRIAN

      Thanks UNCLE ANDY ~ Brian here ! Thanks for a beautiful SONG (Classical Folk !) and an equally beautiful POEM ! Angela & I can empathise (in a small way) because of our mutually agreed separation (11k miles) for 15 months. But we both know (DV) that come OCTOBER we will be together for time & eternity ! I am sad (like you) on Days which offer wonderful opportunities to do wonderful things together which I either have to forgo or do without Angela. Alas for Joyce & Yourself those times are gone forever and we are all SAD for you. Thanks for caring & sharing !

      Blessings & Peace for YOU & JOYCE
      Yours BRIAN 💙💙💙💙💙

            So much empathy for you my friend. Some wonderful words are written and the words of this song seem so fitting for your plight.

              Thank you d a, yes that song had me in tears.

              • dusk arising

                I'm sorry it was painful, I knew it would be. But tears are a necessary thing and after each flood give a positive regathering of ones spirit.

              • Suresh

                Thou there, but a companion no more.
                thou loved, but a lover no more
                Thou you care, but care for no more
                Thou not together, but together forever and more.

                • Goldfinch60

                  Thank you Suresh, yes 'together forever and more' - so true.
