Description
My dearest, dearest husband
My dearest, dearest husband, we’ve been parted from each other
You were my soul mate, my lifelong friend, my partner, companion, my lover
I know that you will miss me, as our family will miss me too
Life may be a bit of a vacuum, until you adjust to a life anew
I’ll be with you there my darling, in your heart and thoughts I’ll remain
Our friends and family will support you, easing your remorse and your pain.

For you must go on without me, I insist and enjoy every dayDo new things, go to new places and please, do not hide yourself away.
You’ve been a fantastic husband and I thank you for sharing my life
The sadness you feel and the tears that you shed, will pass, as I have your wife
To those of you my family, I’m grateful that you are here
You all mean so much to me and are to me, so dear.
Hold on to each other, you will see, time will help heal your loss
Share your joys, express your warmth, ensure your paths do cross.
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.
