[hometext] => My father died of cancer in 1999 and I only began to write after his passing. It has taken me a long time to get over his death but my writing and the support of others has helped a great deal.
[bodytext] => I walk slowly through the door And brush the cobwebs away Your shed was once your refuge A place you came to every day The smell of cedar oil And wood carved long ago Your place of quiet contentment Where your skills were put on show I would watch you as you worked Your hands were cracked and dry Fond memories I now relive As a tear escapes my eye I inhale familiar scents As I stand amongst my thoughts You were a gentle man of peace So many lessons you once taught As I glance around your workshop It is your presence that I miss Memories come flooding back As I stop and reminisce Written June 2003 [comments] => 2 [counter] => 296 [topic] => 39 [informant] => SuSanne [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )
