Description
I’ll not be with you here on in
Let me help you with your grieving, let me help you share your pain
By your knowing that whilst I understand, its effect on you is plain
I do not want you to suffer but to rejoice in the life I had
Such that in the days ahead your thoughts and deeds are more positive than they are sad
Yes, think of me from time to time; that would be nice to know

And share your lives with others close which should help the sadness goOur lives are far too short to mourn, maybe easier said than done
But I’d like to think we all recognise that a new chapter has now begun.
I’ll not be with you hereon in, but time will heal, you’ll see
In signing off I send my love to everyone from me
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.
