This is a piece I penned when starting a rise from the depths of despair having lost my Wife and Best friend of 53 years in November 2001,As you now know I am extremely happy again,doing my best to share everything with my Edna and the Family.For those who have already read it first time around I trust you will find it worth a second airing.......................................dennis Fairies dance their repertoire upon my counterpane Countless little spirits,they try to keep me sane But I do not sleep because the torment will return John Barleycorn and Temazapam have made it worse again. The morning break did not shed a happy light Singing birds seem hoarse;it is my plight The only thing that keeps me going on Is my one dear friend;a little terrier dog. I will not let him feel alone He`s been through that.He`s had his turn I`ll rise above this most harrowing of times Find happiness again-make rhymes But for sure,one thing that will be I`ll take more heed of whispers rom afar Not get too engrossed in trying to be nice.. To all and sundry-for there is a price I`ve paid--the slate is clean-straightened out No debtor me-never was,will never be,hopefully!! A day or two,less whine and wine Everything will turn out fine Back to happy smiling Den,A VERY PROUD AND LOVING MAN |
