PEACE IN THE VALLEY 💛 BRIAN 💛 A PANTOUM

THIS POEM IS RETROSPECTIVE & WRITTEN IN 2070 (I'LL BE 87 !) VISITING THE LOCAL VILLAGE CHURCH & SEEING MY FRIENDS NAMES ON THE TOMBSTONES !

Well do I remember my Old Village Church

Reminds Me of my youthful days

Their absence leaves me in the lurch

For some have passed ~ or gone their separate ways !

Reminds Me of my youthful days

Where are the Lads & Lasses ~ that I used to know ?

For some have passed ~ or gone their separate ways 

Where are some living now ~ where did they go ?

Where are the  Lads & Lasses ~ that I used to know ?

Some within the Churchyard ~ under stones

Where are some living now ~ where did they go ?

Some in distant Lands and some just RIP and only bones !

Some within the the Churchyard ~ under stones

Their absence leaves me in the Lurch

Some in distant Lands and some just RIP and only bones 

Well do I remember my Old Village Church !

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love  BRIAN 💛💛💛💛💛

Im only 36 but already some of my Friends have passed over (prematurely) to the Spirit World. The poem is set (written) in 2070 when Im (DV) 50 years older.  I know that many of my current older Friends will have passed over into Paradise ~ AMEN. I will have lost touch with many who will have moved to distant Region. C*est la Vie. Friends come & go as we get older. With Social Media it is easier to keep in touch but some slip through the net ! Angela & I do visit those that are currently RIP in the Churchyard ~ but we know that their Eternal Spirits are in Paradise ~ Forever with the LORD ~ AMEN ! As a Committed Christian I believe that when I DIE my Eternal Spirit will go to Heaven (Paradise) to be forever with the Lord ! I have the same *Blessed Expectation* for all my Christian Friends ~ AMEN ! Love & Peace to ALL ~ ANGELA & BRIAN 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
