Precious Moments.

For all those who have suffered the loss of a loved one.

Precious Moments

Has it really been just a year

Since you were with us here

It only seems like yesterday

When you had to go away

It was your time to leave

And a time for us to grieve

You gave us life and love

Now you smile down on us from above

Your courage, dignity, your smile and grace

In the challenges you had to face

So strong in spirit and in mind

So gentle and loving and so kind

Some days it seems so much longer

Some memories fade but others grow stronger

Precious moments we will always remember.

We treasure those gifts, now and forever

I am a 63year old married man, born and raised in Cork city, Ireland. I am currently living in a small rural village in County Sligo. In 2007, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. I write poems to help me express my emotions and feelings and to help others to try to understand what it is like to live with disability and the erosion of independence and freedom most people take for granted.
