Forever My Darlings

on a glorious morning
my losses rise up
a choir of golden
they sing from blue sky

and though i am thankful
their faces aren’t blurred
today is for memories
there’s no time to cry

the decades since passing
grow distant it’s true
yet lingers that sorrow
it plays on a harp

its song pure and loving
as feelings don’t change
forever my darlings
the hem on my heart

Hi Chris, today i cried missing you and him and my son. Its like a decade travel, missing him. We became old lost our time where we needs to be. I didnt think his face would get deteriorated
That much. Me too got vulnerable. God has tdken much patience of ours. I know it had hurted you too. But today jan 9 2024, remained a special day for me.

Yes, loss can be a gray sky that always lurks in the background, but the blue skies of love, affection, and good memories keep them away. A wonderful poem, Chris.

Indeed, wonderfully laid, Lady Chris 🥀
As is your appealingly deft wont.

From the moment you first arrived on the Café's doorstep, in 2018, I've followed and admired how brilliantly your compositions have consistently matured … I was even proudly able to pass along a hint here 'n there. : )
"Forever My Darlings" speaks metaphorically to my own heart, as if every line were beautiful, poignantly-caressing waves upon a tender shore … and, no one does metaphor more wondrously brilliant than you so adroitly do.

Thank you, Dear Chris, for being You and a joy for us all.
Here's wishing you the most enthralling 2024 … big HUGS! ⁓ Richard🖌
