Magic Ring

Missing image
If I were to wish for just one thing
it would be for a magic ring,
that I could turn whenever sad
back to a time when i was glad……

To go to school, to be a kid,
hugged for good things that i did,
told off at times when things went wrong
hoping it didn’t last too long.

To go to bed, feel safe at night
a kiss from Dad, he turned out the light,
told I was loved by mom each day...
but growing up has a price to pay.

How I feel when I wake each day
After a restless night, nothing to say
The man I’ve loved for all my life
Now looks down on a lonely wife.

A ring like this is just a dream
I feel lonely now, swimming upstream,
loneliness leaves its mark each day
my thoughts sometimes hard to convey…..

To others who care about me now
they smooth the lines upon my brow,
this loneliness will not go away
why do I feel I have to pay…?

For being happy for so long
the love we shared always so strong,
I will see him again, I know, one day
then I’ll throw the ‘ ring’ away.

    An Excellent poem my friend!

    To relieve the pain of my brother dieing, I write about all the good times that we had when we were kids. He, our friend Huston, and I used to get into to all manner of mischief together. Things like that I remember and write stories about it. Now Huston has also died, so I have even more reason to write the stories, and it helps me more than anything. Those two were my best friends in the whole world when we were kids. I also write about the fights that we had just everything that we did. There are stories about all three of us in my book. Lyle, Huston Johnston, and I like the three musketeers did almost everything together.

    Maybe writing like that would help you Von. Oh yes, I also what to tell you that I am very sorry to hear about your husbands death. I hadn't heard until now.

    An emotional write, Von. I can't imagine how you find the strength to put your feelings into words, and then put the words on paper. I know that writing down one's feelings is a therapeutic part of the process of coping with the loss of a loved one, oh, how I know. It doesn't ease the pain, but somehow, it helps.

    Legend could not have put it better and harlequin too.
    but only in time will it make scene to you.
    there is no rush to understand
    while the time of grief is still at hand.

    A time that we will all go through
    A time of pain in the deepest of blue
    this time of sadness we can not force
    we must but let it run its course

    thinking of you

    A beautiful write Von.

    Von we all have a magic ring, it's called a memory. We all go back in time for a moment and treasure a moment we choose to. Unlike most things in life memories cost nothing, we can go back to any time we want, we can laugh, we can cry, we can embrace, and we can let go the times that were not good to us.

    Treasure your moments, treasure your memory...Jeff XXX

    Were I a goldsmith I would take
    the purest gold, a ring to make
    That would provide what you require
    your every wish, your hearts desire

    No fee I'd take, twould be my gift
    to give your life that little lift
    Alas my talents lack the art
    this simple task to you impart

    All i can sends this little rhyme
    hoping there will come a time
    That you no longer feel need
    the ring to have, so too proceed

    Once more toward a brighter day
    as loneliness is put at bay
    When smiles return and you will see
    with love, each happy memory

    Take Care

    It would be so lovely to be able to relive the happy times from the past. But memories are there to be used for relief from the pain of the present, the 'good old days' are gone. What gave joy and pleasure yesterday can still do so today, in your mind. A well written poem Von, but sad, so sad.
