Thoughts (By F. Phipps) Poem by Andrew Wright

Thoughts (By F. Phipps)



You're ever in my thoughts, though parted we may be,
Side by side we walk along the paths of memory,
In the land of hearts desire we live and laugh and love,
The future bright before us and a cloudless sky above,
I cannot hear your voice, nor take your hand in mine,
But none can rob me of my dreams nor take my hopes away,
Our lives once linked together now lie so far apart,
But you're ever in my thoughts and always in my heart.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Andrew Wright was a Prisoner of War, captured at Dunkirk. This poem is taken from a notebook he kept while in the POW camps. It is difficult to believe that the writers of all of these poems were men who had in the main left school at the age of 14. Where he attributes the poem to an individual I have included that attribution. Andrew Wright died in 1987. These poems were uploaded by his son.
