I live in Australia which is on the other side of the world from where I was born. As a consequence I have another family, who I also love dearly, many miles from me. We stay in touch every week but it is not the same. My brother in law's wife was in the same situation and took things into her own hands to get her family to the other side of the world. I am not going to enter into the rights and wrongs of her actions but this poem is from my kids to hers.
| We're sorry that you've gone, we're sorry that you're no longer here. We're sorry we never said good bye and didn't shed a single tear. And now we live so far apart, separated by many miles, so I'll just remember our happy times and your wonderful heartfelt smiles. The pool cover is coming off , but there'll be no more splashing water fights, there'll be no more sleepovers, there'll be no more sleepless nights. And Grandma's Sunday dinners, that wonderful wholesome fare, will never be the same now that you won't be there. There'll be no more cubby houses or playing hide and seek. There'll be no more secret cuddles or kisses on the cheek. And the house at Woonona, the home you knew so well, now seems like an empty nest, now seems like an empty shell. As these memories come flooding back like some favourite remembered tune, We only have one thought - kids, please hurry back, and SOON. |
