This Is Not Goodbye

For Grief Awareness Week 2024 💜❤️ And for every other day of the year ❤️

 

This Is Not Goodbye

I did not want to leave you
It was just my time to go
I know your heart is breaking
So, I need to let you know

That although you can no longer see me
I’ll be forever by your side
I promise time will numb the pain
And help dry the tears you’ve cried

You can reach me in your memories
Just think of me, I will be there
In your dreams, we can visit yesteryear
Where we didn’t have a care

Please carry on and live your life
I beg of you to try
Just know we’ll meet again one day
As this is not goodbye

I absolutely love writing poems. Enjoying my garden and my dogs. I used to be an Age UK Befriender, which I would thoroughly recommend to anybody. So rewarding
