for Anna.
daughter, sister, friend, mum.....teacher.
disease shouldnt have touched you.
time shoudnt have caught up with you.

they say there are no perfect people
i say they didnt meet you....

to Anna.
I once worried I'd forget you.
today more than ever, I know i'd never.

i will be A Poem someday,
(or will i)?
being some earth
maYbe or (whynot)
a worm, and who
will remember nothing
of being what
i WAS NOT being
(apoem?)
someday when i
was, and will U
be there 2? i
wonder laying next to my wife.

so much happens
When designing
Apoem
How much love laughter
Pain sorrow
Has been experienced
What one has seen
And experienced
And gathered in
The process
Stories told
Others made up
Poetry is Life
All around
Forming in and
Out of the womb
Man and animal
Sea and sky
Poetry is a thank you
For gathering up Life
And putting into words

Can't force a friendship.
Can't force a poem
Friendship takes time
To begin and continue
Much thought space
Neededed for its
Fruitation
Watered with patience
And mistakes
A poem not
That different
Thoughts need time to
Mull through your head
And space to grow
Patience for the right words
Acceptance for mistakes
When combined apoem
Is a friend
