Save

For our cousin Vicki, passed away 50 yrs young 11/10/07. Another victim of cancer.
When Autumn comes again Breezes are blowing your free spirit is in the air Today won’t be easy, as my thoughts turn to despair This goodbye, how it will become such a mental strain When Autumn comes again. Thousands of brown leaves gently falling to the ground Trudging through dragging my feet, not making a sound Why is this day so hard, so tough, such a drain? When Autumn comes again. Clouds overhead becoming so thick and so gray The blue disappearing as darkness continues on its way Trying to cover from the cold, seems only to be in vain When Autumn comes again. That cancerous disease came and took you from our life Always in our minds, Mother, aunty, partner and wife Our friends know of, but they can never feel our pain When Autumn comes again. No more cuddling on the sofa by the fire warm Snuggling in each other’s arms, till the early morn Wondering about my life, is there anything to gain When Autumn comes again. I come to you this day; I leave flowers and a card Future seasons now without you, will it be hard? The state I’m in now, wondering if I will stay sane When Autumn comes again. The service will be nice; words spoken will be so sweet The only place now I can hold you is deep in my sleep So in all the seasons your memories will vividly remain Never more so, When Autumn comes again.

This is beautifully elegaic and rich with its natural flowing rhythms and gentle rhymes, giving a sense of continuity. All founded on heartfelt emotion which makes the tone so authentic and whistful. My condolences, David. I believe the first year is the hardest as the previous seasons being the last shared with the Beloved are so sharp in the experience and the mind. You point up well, too, the apprehension about the oncoming anniversary of the actual event which can almost be a sensation of reliving the time all over again. The family closeness is palpable and I hope brings you much comfort on your necessary path of grieving. May the fruitfulness of happy memories also abound to bring you peace.

And my heartfelt thanks for your congratulations, too, on my recent personal excitement! Very sweet of you to drop by and comment. Kate xx

Cancer has claim many young lives, as well as the olds. I have lost both my parents to cancer.
