Description
I’m here, I’m there, I’m anywhere
We are gathered here today to say goodbye to me
That’s so so good of you, you’re so sombre I can see
I understand your feelings and would feel the same if I were you
We are where we are however, and it’s beyond all of us, to undo.
My pain has gone, as has my torment, and for that I am immeasurably pleased
And maybe my fate is for the better, for in every way my suffering has eased
I’m here, I’m there, I’m anywhere, if I’m anywhere at all

So, wherever I am if anywhere I will think of you and memories recallI was part of a tree with branches
Upwards and onwards you must go
New generations to follow, more seedlings to scatter and sow
We may not talk hereafter so I will say my final farewell
If only in verse as now read to you
Upon sad times let us not dwell
About the Author
Keith Stokes-Smith was brought up in Solihull, moving to Worcestershire in 1997. Writing poems came easy to him in his twenties and early thirties.
In 2016, his mother passed away. Two weeks later, on a train journey to London, he belatedly wrote a bespoke poem for her funeral and wrote it as if she had composed it to be read out by her at her funeral; a strange concept you might think. From then on he found himself uncontrollably inspired to write more adopting words spoken by fictitious people of fictitious ages in fictitious circumstances. In essence, he has tried to be in the mind of the reader. His poems may be considered somewhat unique coupled very often with them having a sense of humour.
