Some people are simply irreplaceable, aren’t they?

A true soulmate!

By Stanley Collymore

 

You entered my life unexpectedly; it wasn’t a

momentous occasion or as I recall even an

occurrence that I particularly welcomed

or was likewise pleased about, but it

happened all the same; I tolerated

it, didn’t initially attribute too

much significance to it all

and that was that. At least

that’s how I saw things

and what I honestly

did think at the

time.

 

But even though from the outset you knew exactly

how I felt about this new development that had

inauspiciously thrown us together you did

nothing to change my opinion about

what had occurred or sought to

impress me in anyway and

simply carried on being

yourself, creating in

the interim a state

of equilibrium where

eventually I was

the one who

changed.

 

And I’m exceedingly glad I did; for you’ve turned

out not only to be one of the most remarkable

persons I’ve ever met, or could have hoped

to, but also someone who has artlessly

and rather endearingly become for

me, quite thankfully I must

also confess, absolutely

indispensible to

my life!

One of the principal ways one can truly value their own life is through the significance that they attach to the lives of others. This poem is accordingly dedicated to Carolyn Audrey Tippin of Rugeley, Staffordshire.
