Cheer that blossomed within our hearts,
stirred by your presence at each day’s start,
yearns to wilt when you depart.
But our song will sing again, tomorrow.
The smiles that pierced through saddened guise,
the rays which conquered thundered skies,
they ache to dim neath heaven’s cries.
But the sun will rise again, tomorrow.
For many years our lives you blessed,
but the hour has come for you to rest,
to soar upon hills on golden crest.
So have no fear, tomorrow.
For on that day, I know we shall meet again.

Dedicated to Pam, in memory of Sammy ♥

Oh Phoebe…..I’m still wading through hundreds of emails and landed here to read your touching poem dedicated to me. You have touched my heart in every way since I’ve known you, and this is such a dear, sweet poem it really sums up just how I feel at saying goodbye to Sammy. Thank you Phoebe for your friendship and your thoughtfulness – your gift of perfect poetry comes at just the right time for me and is a joy to anyone who has ever lost someone or something that meant the world to them. I send you hugs……and one for Samantha too! Angel Sammy sends his love as well……as you and I both know – life DOES go on.
Love, Pam
*BIG HUG TO PAM* 🌷
