Missing Poem by Don Stratford

Material things
Missing a shield
Who gives a tinkers cuss
Emotional it is

Money it helps
The love of your life
That’s what counts

What to do at the loss
A best mate fallen
No longer to be seen
Memories are all that’s left

To go on is life
Strength is required
Get through it you can
Meet again is the plan

A call to your arms
Once again
For a moment I dream
Because I love you so
