Mum

My eyes are hot
with unshed tears
uncounted

Time to fly away
my beautiful canary,
I'll never forget
the music you gave me

Fly from the pain
let the suffering stay behind
I'll miss you forever

Hi Phil

I read your poem to Mum - it made us both cry, it is so beautiful.

But, do you think you could change your label on it from "Obituaries"???

Love
Di
