Memories, Numbers and A Whole Heap of Love

Neville

Memories, Numbers and A Whole Heap of Love

 

Twelve years without you

feels more like a lifetime ..

You would

have been ninety two on

the eighth of June this year ..

And I hurt as much today

as I ever did

back then, when you left us

on that most

dreadful, twenty first day

of the very same month

two thousand and twelve ..

Now we have

nothing, but numbers

to remember you by and our

own cherished memories,

plus maybe, a handful or two

of mostly

black and white photographs ..

A hole in each

of our broken hearts

and a whole heap of love still ..

      Memories are all we have to take along with us. All Sanyasis in life, beggars with only our memories to carry. A most beautiful tribute Neville
