My Lost Love

Poem by: Anne Spiller

I have only just lost you; the pain is hard to bear.

Do I have to go through life knowing you’re not there?

Please, someone explain to me why he had to go.

Are there any reasons I really need to know?

I sit here and remember all the lovely times we shared,

the talks, the laughter, of everyone you cared.

I am told the pain will ease in time

and I will think of him without a tear,

but that will be impossible as I need to have him here.

He was my very world, my ever guiding star.

Just kiss me softly on the cheek and tell me where you are.

Ways to keep them close

Words like these often stay with us long after the funeral. Some families also find comfort in a keepsake at home: an urn, a cuddle stone to hold, or jewellery with a little of their ashes inside.
