There is a quiet corner in my yard, where I walk and it is here I come across the leaves with musical notes and men dancing, dancing with Joy ….
…….
there is no way to think of Nancy
in the past tense
she was
she will be …
there just isn’t
pictures posted by friends
stories told
they are all still real
still present
still
here
she is
she is
she
IS
that smile never fades
good humour
good times
great heart
it stays in our heart
in the present
it doesn’t diminish
it doesn’t
‘pass away’
it never dies
it’s not taken from us
it will not fade
someone so vibrant
so loved
when a picture is shared
it’s not sadness it invokes
it’s Happiness
it’s Memories
it’s Great
memories
but they are all very much alive
and joyful
not gone
and this
is Nancy
and this
we hold
and this , we hold
with smiles,
and with tears, yes
but what does it make you think of
when you see that smile
of John, and Jack of course
of your friends, of yourself
of finding and offering comfort
and support
and
isn’t this Nancy ?
isn’t she here, then
and this
we hold …
She is here
of this, I am certain
such a bright spark
of genuine goodness, love and laughter
will never – not be here
will stay as vibrant in those
that knew know
and Love her
just as always
Always with a smile
always with a way of making
You smile
She is Joy
isn’t that it?
She is Bold, Unapologetic
Boisterous, Unbounding
Joy
She
is!
yeah …
she is,
so
let’s keep that ♥
