The Last Goodbye Poem by Margaret O Driscoll
The Last Goodbye
Seeing a loved one dear to you
Lying in their final bed
Is an image that stays with you
Long after funeral prayers are said
Gentle hands clasped with a rosary
Hands that you used to hold
Stricken with grief the last goodbye
To a loved one made of gold
Weeping willows our heart's wings facing cases like these.But, my dear, Very like leaves are we cast to be on the ground by wind which is neither to be diverted nor withstood. Painful realy, indeed {I lost two friends last week...I feel it! }
Thank you for your kind comments Dimitrios, sorry for your loss
That poem touched me to the quick. It was hard to read since it means so much to me. It is so true, too, in my case and I'm sure with many others who have lost a most dear loved one. Your poem is short and I'm glad, because anything longer would mean that the pain is less by now and the feelings are more manageable. Some losses may be like that, but the truly golden ones are not. Thank you for this heart wrenching work and I'm so glad you are so prolific in your poetry output, particularly since they are all awesome. Many blessings always, Liilia
Liilia love, I thought of your loss as I wrote the last lines, I wrote it about my brother who passed away on Valentine's Day a long time ago, I did intend to write a different last line, but pulled back because it was too too sad. Thank you dear friend, God bless you today and always xx
