“There are no words…”
“Language is inadequate…”
And yet, and yet there are words.
The sounds we make to remember you
form a cushion to ease the blow,
somewhere soft to rest our heads
as we reconcile ourselves to loss and regret.
The words that you gave;
encouragement, advice, aspiration, engagement
all conspire in an outwelling of emotion,
a rising tide that enables us to float
buoyed by your gentle presence,
infectious laughter and endless stories.
The sounds, the words, the language – all yours.

Hi Heaven, thanks for the comment and nice to see you here.
A very nice epitaph.
it will pass, balanced writing, thanks for sharing.
Happy New Year.
I just found your Country Song in my comments from a couple years ago! Fantastic! I must have missed it back then, nearly all my comments disappear into spam and I only realised that’s where they were recently.
Thanks for that, all the way back then
Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t read your post before I left that comment, not so appropriate for today x
No problem Jo and I’m glad you liked the song! I remember that alright and it was a while ago but good to see you rescued your comments from your spam folder.
