There is a more than touch of angst (and irony?) in this sombre poem about death and the 'hollow' grief that is so often part of the funeral ceremony. So sad that those who turn up to 'pay their last respects' do so out of duty rather than compassion. Your flowers upon the lawn are a fitting symbol of a life well lived. Beautifully written as usual, Andrew. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Andrew, much to like in this well written piece. Loved the line: 'As weeds within the borders grew'. Nice one.10/10 Regards, Ian
Andrew, you have so much empathy for this lady and it is admirable you care for others like you do. The poem flows divinely and your rhyme and rhythm as usual is faultless. Fancy the flowers spelling out her name, and it creates a beautiful picture in my mind. 10 love Karin
Indeed there is no reciprocation of love as long as one is alive in this world. Only after death realisation dawns to many! True message nicely written!
A piece filled with beauty and sadness at the same time. Thanks for sharing, Andrew.
