Fading

Nothing lasts for ever..

Fading

In knowing

Memories 

Often fail

And  

Bruises always

Fade

I had hoped

So very much

Indeed  

To save

The essence

Of her

In those places

We once played

 

Such precious

Moments

Filled

To the very 

Point of

Overflow

With laughter

Longing

Love and song

I cannot

For a moment 

Now explain

How much

I wanted them

To go on and on and on

I am sure this is not about a parent but I had my Dad's fedora for a long time after he was gone and every now and then I would take it off the hook where I kept it and breath in the smell of my Dad.. I could sure use that right now... I agree with Chris.. this is a gem..

No, not about a parent but I can understand exactly the comfort you got when you held and smelt your dear Dads fedora … I do so much appreciate the visit and encouraging review my friend... Stay safe and well,

How strange, I popped in after being in the garden, where my mind had been wandering to people and places to find this gem. And it is a gem. Filled with the sentiment of loving and missing. A heartache of a poem Neville.
