Another of my old poems for Breast Cancer Awareness Month
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sun shines warm and strong
The washing on the line dances, it will be dry before long!
The birds are twittering and singing
Bees around the flowers buzzing gently, no thought of stinging.
Children are playing along the road, they must be home from school.
Time, time is my enemy always too fast, too slow never anybody’s fool.
I feel rested in the sun, relaxed maybe this is a new journey I have begun
Nothing to worry about anymore, nothing to rush for, nothing to come.
Gently things begin to fade, is this it or is just that I am lying in the shade
No I can no longer move , here comes the silent peace I crave.
I am happy that there will be no more treatment or pain
I am sorry for those who I love that will have to remain.
The sun shines warm and strong
The washing on the line dances it will be dry before long!
The birds are twittering and singing
Bees around the flowers buzzing gently no thought of stinging.
I hope they will not think me selfish, I could really fight no more
Here comes death to claim me and I feel safe as he leads me to his door.
Peace, peace no pain, no needles no scans no sad sad smiles
I am going now, I love you all and I shall be here but not seen, loving you all the while……………….
Just a little explanatory word. I wrote this poem one afternoon last June, 2013, I do not know where it came from I just wrote it. It is about a person dying peacefully of some disease say Cancer. I have not known any of my lost friends who have passed this way but I wish it could be like this . I wish death could of been gentle for them and for all of us……….. please.

Yes I wish we could all know that the end would be easy, gentle restful. Sadly none of us know, probably a good thing. ❤

Sheets,
Shorts and shirts,
melancholic pleated skirts,
Life should never hurt.
But it does.
Laundry clean and happy,
in the wind and flapping,
I leave as I began,
jaundiced and a little raspy.
The years, the years.
I don’t care anymore.
Just lay me down.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
