Loss Of A Loved One. Poem by Michael Cochrane

We shared so many happy times, sitting by the fire me, listening to your stories, of sadness and hard times. You were the life and soul of our parties at Christmas and New Year, always singing here in my heart by Al Martino with such emotion, dear Mother. You left behind so many cherised memories that stay with me! When you passed all the clocks stopped and my world was on hold, a huge void lay ahead. Without you these twenty one years feels like it was yesterday, but you said don't cry me Michael, if I depart this life, as Jesus will open a door for me and I will enter his world. So knowing that you are in his all encompassing heart gives me inner peace and a unique insight into his love for each one of us who know the holy spirit through the Lord of Light.
