there will be no mourning
only gratitude for memories
placed with flora in glass vases
cream tea roses and pink carnations
while on the mantle there will be
white candles scented
effusing bouquets of jasmine love
my mind will carry my heart
in thought flight to the west country
where the tides embrace Anstey’s Cove
and kiss the feet of Thatcher’s rock
wild water washing away
the last days of suffering and leaving
images of you smiling and waving

That is a beautiful celebration of life and love, their name is bright like the sun and moon 🙏🏻🕊
Thank you kindly arqios for your encouraging review. Very much appreciated.
Your welcome Cassie 🙏🏻🕊
There are feelings of pain but also nostalgia and the bitter sweet feeling of past love and loss here. A feeling of melancholy pervades. Beautiful
Thank you so much sorenbarrett for your thoughts. There is pain, but no more mourning. I mourned my mum before she died. It was a long and drawn out demise sadly.
A heartfelt poem of sorrow and celebration, a wonderful read. I enjoyed it, thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment LP2187. Much appreciated.
No mourning indeed. Mine is still alive and well, but I can imagine the pain and loss experienced by losing one's parents. A most poignant and heartfelt poem, dear poet! Well done! 🌹👏
Dear Tristen, the loss of parents is an unbearable sorrow, that I can attest to. Although I still feel pain at the loss of my mum, which happened three years ago, I prefer to celebrate her life, for the wonderful person she was. Thank you kindly for your lovely thoughts. All good wishes.
So very beautiful. 🌹
Dear Teddy, thank you so very much. Hope you have had a good Monday. 🌹💜🏴

Thank you so much Andy for your kind thoughts.
Celebrating all that is of worth. A most lovely write
Yes celebrating the wonderful person she was. Thank you so much for your valued thoughts sorenbarrett.
Only the third anniversary, la! I'm so sorry. Yet, how exquisitely gorgeous this memento to your beloved late mother is, how laden to the hilt with delicate imagery and a fragile poignancy which half seems to threaten the tears may spill over the brim. Thank you so very much for sharing. [Mine and my best friend at that, has been gone now these 9 long years.]
Thank you so much Missy. Mum had a long drawn out demise. My mourning started years ago. Now though is the time to celebrate the wonderful person she was. Of course, she is very much missed. So sad about your own mum Missy.
You had me at the first line, Cassie. A powerful piece. The emotion rings through so clearly.
Thank you so much Tom. Your thoughts always very much appreciated.

Thank you so much Alan. Have a good weekend.
Respected Cassie, this is Simurgh here, stopping by your beautiful poem: ' I Say Your Name ' ( Just like 'Stopping By The Woods' by Robert Frost--- the great poet). Just joking, lol! 😆
It is a wonderful celebration of life and love! The poem beautifully reminisces the sweet past love.
It might be a nostalgia to many, to recall their past love who passed away early.
Just like I remember my late father; who left me alone, in this earthly song rather.
Anyways I loved your poem a lot! ❤️
Dear Simurgh thank you so much for your thoughts. I am delighted that this poem meant something to you. So kind are you wuth your praise. Have a great weekend.
Dear Cassie, you are most welcome for reading and commenting on my poem so nicely.
I want to read more of your poems, just continue to write all these masterpieces!
Have a nice weekend! 🌹🌹
Love you words here, so beautiful. Touched me for I have lost so many and defiantly understand mourning. Yet, you penned such a beaiutiful memorial. I read this twice. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you teardrop for your kind comments. Grief is difficult. Everyone does it differently. Take care of yourself.
Evocative and heartfelt. Beautiful.
