For Sabrina

Tryin' to be the change you wanted to see in me

Tryin' to hold on to every single memory

They say time can heal all pain

But I ain't letting time steal your name

Bad times and good intentions

Half hearted interventions

An angels smiles

fightin the devils trials

You opened my eyes when you closed yours for good

You gave me a lesson that nothing ever could

Love

Forgiveness

Beauty

You knew it all and knew it well

Maybe an early heaven was to save you from hell

My promise to you is to never forget

To always be better

and never regret

Happy Birthday Brina!

Beeeeoooootifulllll. Weird how sometimes it takes the passing of a friend , relative to open our eyes to what life CAN or should be.
Right, I'm off to write something stoooooopid

Thank you!!! It is a shame that's what it takes sometimes but... guess that's the kinda shot that makes beauty outta everything!

[Gee]

Tis indeed my dear, dearest poet, Bev.
Thought I'd try out "dearest poet" .......Why do they write that ?? Hmmmmmmmmmm. Can't be doing with all of that flowery bollocks (I think that is a term oft' used in poetry...Oh and why we're at it " my muse" does nowt for me either.

That's my favorite line. Simple, but to the point. I can hear acoustic guitar setting this all to music. I can tell this piece is heartfelt. Lovely work.

"Maybe an early heaven was to save you from hell"
That is a very powerful line. It's hard to understand 'why' sometimes, especially when the end comes to soon. Very heartfelt. Beautiful words Bev. xx

[BBP]

Thank you papaya! The why is never answered but we find peace in hope!

[Papaya]

You're welcome. Yes, time is a wonderful healer.
(Or at least 'duller' of pain)
