Subject: RE: There Are No Goodbyes From: Helen Date: 02 Mar 03 - 05:46 PM Thanks for the beautiful poem Nathan. You are right, there are no goodbyes. My Mum comes to visit me at times, mostly as a loving presence. I can't see her but I know when she is here. And I finally dreamt about her in January. I know that the dreams I have of people who have gone from here are actually visits from them. Helen |

Subject: RE: There Are No Goodbyes From: katlaughing Date: 26 Feb 03 - 06:32 PM Thank you for sharing with us, Nathan. The best poems are those that come from deeply felt emotions. I am sorry for your loss, darlin'. Lots of hugs and thoughts of peace coming your way. luvyakat |
Subject: RE: There Are No Goodbyes From: SINSULL Date: 26 Feb 03 - 06:25 PM I am sorry for you, Nathan but glad his suffering is over. And glad that he knew at the end that he was loved. |
Subject: RE: There Are No Goodbyes From: Jeri Date: 26 Feb 03 - 06:19 PM I'm sorry Nathan. You can't love someone like that without them knowing. |
Subject: Lyr Add: THERE ARE NO GOODBYES From: GUEST,amergin Date: 26 Feb 03 - 06:10 PM THERE ARE NO GOODBYES There are no goodbyes I think as I see you lying there Gasping, struggling for breath Ruminating over things unsaid Little things that mean the world "I love you" "Thank you for the years" "I always thought of you as my grandpa" but there are no goodbyes There are no goodbyes I think as we hold each other Wiping our tears from our eyes Bodies shaking in deep sorrow Rubbish bins filling with spent tissue Quivering voices whispering their loss Whispering farewell to your vacant shell But there are no goodbyes There are no goodbyes I think as I softly kiss your forehead Feeling the cold lifeless skin upon my lips My heart trembling at the touch But I know that was not you The gods had already called you home. So many things I wanted to say But there are no goodbyes. nathan tompkins |
