Sixteenth November … sixteen years!
Since he passed on and I shed tears
Time flutters by – deep sadness steals;
I play again my memory reels…
This, now ‘heavenly’, birth date
Recalls my much loved, much missed, mate
Who made my humble heart complete,
As each day I had happy feet!
Now down life’s corridors I roam
The only echoing – my own
Bold avenues I still explore
But differently, as he’s no more …
