NeverA Poem by Mick BurkeOn the death of a young personThe cruellest part of the death of a friend, Is the realisation that this is the end. It's hard to accept that death is forever, We can't comprehend the concept of Never...
Never going to town to just have a look, Never watching the telly, or reading a book. Never going to the shops to pick up some treats, Never watching a movie from the VIP seats. Never keeping on fighting with backs to the wall, Never swinging a hurl or kicking a ball. Never missing the bus and turning up late, Never knowing the thrill of a very first date. Never marrying someone and having a spouse, Never getting a mortgage and buying a house. Never worrying about money, or taking a loan, Never paying for heat, or light, or the phone. Never being a parent seeing joy in kid's eyes, Never praising their efforts or calming their cries. Never planning and plotting and building a scheme, Never feeling the triumph of achieving a dream.
Now all these dreams, these hopes and endeavour, Are boxed up and buried, and the label says...”Never”. © 2015 Mick BurkeReviews
