... and now for something completely different: a wee ditty out of the annals of "Merrie England"...!!




HE LEFT ME...


He left me with a kiss today,
He left me with a kiss
And though he journeys miles away,
our love is more than this

He left me with a smile today,
He left me with a smile
Though others through his life might stray
none his faithfulness beguile

He left me with a frown today,
He left me with a frown
And though frustration's game we play,
our love is not worn down

He left me with a child today
He left me with a child -
And all his smile, his kiss, his way
is in his infant styled

I do like the irish sayings, songs and everything. They are such joyful people and always leave a message to their songs etc.

Kate....I can sense happiness, pain, hunger, love and bitterness in this great write of yours...This I think came straight from your heart....I would call this poem," A waltz of your heart",since this looks so realistic in nature...sorry if I am wrong...But after reading this I could not control my tears....This touched me very very deeply....And this is that sort of poem which will forever encircle in my heart....

He left me with a child today
He left me with a child -
And all his smile, his kiss, his way
is in his infant styled

This is metaphysical in nature and I loved the ending of this great write....cheers...love n luck....BHUWAN

I enjoyed this, very much, it reads well and leaves one with a lingering smile for the child's reflection of the man.
