So… it’s that time of the year again.  Thirty poems in thirty days.  How hard can that be?  Last year I stretched it out to over two months… sixty-plus consecutive poems.  After that, thirty will be nothing… hopefully…. maybe…. ah well, may as well get started,

My Beloved Friend

A day, a week, a month, a year?
How long must grieving last?
I long for when the joy remains,
But constant pain has passed.

I don’t regret the time we shared,
Your love so worth this pain.
And even as I shed these tears,
I’d do it all again.

My friend I miss you still so much
I see you everywhere.
And when I’m feeling most alone,
I look and you are there.

You come to say you are still here,
You live within my heart.
So long as I can feel you there,
We’ll never be apart.

Miss you Chester

Cheers, Winston.
