Description
I can’t believe it’s over
I can’t believe it’s over; I can’t believe I’ve gone
But it had to happen one day, we can’t go on and on
Your presence here humbles me, I thank you with all my heart
As we go our separate ways, it’s time for me to part
You touched my life in many ways, we shared our joys and sorrows
We laughed, we loved, we smiled, we cared; did I return the things I borrowed?

My friends and dear dear family, I know you will be sadBut think of me with fondness and that will make me glad
Leave this place with fond memories then enjoy your days ahead
For your time on earth is pretty dam short, do the things you like to do and avoid the things you dread
Be you young or old or middle aged, my love I send your way
My heart felt good wishes for evermore, on this and every day.
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.
