on a glorious morning
my losses rise up
a choir of golden
they sing from blue sky
and though I am thankful
their faces aren’t blurred
today is for memories
there’s no time to cry
the decades since passing
grow distant it’s true
yet lingers that sorrow
it plays on a harp
its song pure and loving
as feelings don’t change
forever my darlings
the hem of my heart

This would could use more poets like you. Keep shining birght
Thank you for your very kind comment.
Your first stanza is my favourite as it seems to speak volumes of the talents of the author. But I absolutely love all 4 stanza's I believe you have spoken in such poetic beauty of a time we may well wish we could have gone back to at least for five minutes at least I speak for myself. 💜
Teddy, thank you for another review brimful of encouragement. So pleased you enjoyed my stanzas. 🌹
Tremendous work.
Thank you Thomas. I appreciate you.
