One year on

It has been one year since our dear friend Davo passed on. Although he is always on my mind and I witter away to him in my head as I know he is there listening, I also wanted to post a very nice poem I found recently. I think Davo would like it a lot. I found it when I was looking for an appropriate reading for my uncle's funeral (who very sadly passed away recently). I think Davo would really like this poem because it would sum up how he felt exactly. He didn't want to be forgotten and he didn't want people to be sad when they thought of him. He wanted to live on in our hearts and memories.


The Journey Of My Life

It was beautiful
As long as it lasted
The journey of my life.

I have no regrets whatsoever
Save the pain I’ll leave behind
Those dear hearts who love and care...
And the strings pulling at the heart and soul...

The strong arms that held me up
When my own strength let me down.

At every turning of my life
I came across good friends,
Friends who stood by me,
Even when the time raced me by.

Farewell,farewell, my friends
I smile and bid you goodbye.
No, shed no tears
For I need them not
All I need is your smile.

If you feel sad, do think of me
For that’s what I’ll like
When you live in the hearts of those you love,
Remember then
You never die.
