Waterfall


from the ABC set Lurve Ramblings

For my beautiful wife; thanks for all the love.

When life's waterfall is finally dammed
and even hope's faint trickle has been dried,
will all the memories we shared be damned
and hidden, where the dead alone can hide?

When the hour glass has served its time
and every mortal grain has tumbled through,
will lover's souls be joined and at this time,
will you join me and I once more, join you?

If this be so, then hasten me to peace;
I'll take your hand and take my leave too wait.
Let go my mortal shell, save for one piece;
enfold my heart and trust the rest to fate.

Chris, I have been so worried and it was fantastic to read this beautiful poem.

I do so hope you are soon feeling one hundred percent, but it's smashing having you back;-)

Good luck with the fags - I'm seven months in and still keeping the faith (with one or two lapses)!

Thanks Tony; easy to give up the fags when you can hardly get air, let alone smoke into your lungs. Smoking contributed greatly to the severity of the condition and I was VERY lucky to get out of it.
Got that many steroids going through the system now, that I am checking for hair on the soles of my feet ;)
Getting there, thanks for the kind words and STAY OFF THE BLOODY FAGS! ;)
