PRESENCE.

I don't know what strength I have left deep within me? I do know through loss comes belief that I must see...

These moments so difficult, they tear up your soul. Emotionally tested your heart's feeling cold...

Questions unanswered they pull at your strings. Upset and distraught your confusion just sings...

Hit by the news that your friend's life has ended! Suffering with cancer his long fight commended...

You knew in your heart that this day was to come. You try and prepare for the worst as you run...

As fast and as far as those tears will flow. A river of sorrow no comfort can slow...

Why has he gone and what possible reason? So young and so vibrant, a warrior with freedom...

A son he adored and a partner with strength. Fighting to cope keeping pain at arm's length...

It put's in perspective how short this life is! For around every corner such contrast within...

The unknown is scary so what's up ahead? Nobody has answered that question just yet...!

I like so many have cried lot's this week. Broken and shattered my thoughts trying to seek...

Explanation that matters to help understand. A presence so bright can no longer expand...?

Any room that he entered would light up the dark. Bringing his spirit, his warmth and that spark...

Of humour and joy so infectious and sharp. An ability for laughter you'd cherish at heart...

Memories abundant, were all sharing them. His wake will be powerful, like him with his pen...

Poetry his gift to pass on to those struggling. A colossus of a man but so gentle and loving...

I'm grateful and thankful we've written our book. A wish we had talked of now granted let's look...

Ahead to a future his words will reach far. His legacy important that's why we have scars...!

To remind us of where our long journey began. It once had a cut as a boy scarred by man...!

But it's not how you start in this life he would say. How you live it defines you so show it today...

Be brave and be bold and take comfort from cold. For the sun brings that warmth is your courage if bold...

Fight when your tired even though you can't stand. Talk without speaking reach out with your hand...

Listen and learn from mistakes you will make. Promise yourself your too strong and won't break...

Beauty has power it's sourced from within. If you let it talk softly your heart always wins...
