Today is not goodbye

Grief poem

I know you were not ready
To let go of my hand
Look out for the Robins
Minding as they land

I’ll kiss your cheek every night
And watch you as you are
I’ll wipe away the tears weeped
Remember I haven’t gone far

Today is not goodbye
My dear wife and daughter too
Think of me with happy thoughts
And remember that I love you

I decided that I wanted to write this beautiful poem for a friend and her mum, who sadly lost their dad and husband just after Christmas. I hope this can bring comfort to them, in the coming weeks and months ahead!!
