Chapel Of Rest Poem by Colin Bingham

You hold your partners cold hand and pray she knows your there
Pray your warmth flows through her soul
Whisper through tears to ears not responding
Your last message never to be heard

Gently move misplaced hair on her brow
Realign flowers around her form
Secret going away presents wrapped by her side
Draped in her happiest moments

Realise you will never see her form again
Never hear her voice, laughter, sound
Nor stand together in life
Never share the smallest moment again

All emotions experienced in that moment
Ultimately only a still sadness is left
Memories etched until life ceases
Never forgot always there
